    New work car for AB

    Hi folks,

    I'm in need of some advice on a company car.

    We are getting rid of the 2001 ZD30 and some other cars as we are getting smashed with FBT!

    I'm looking for a ute but our budget is only around 8k....Really can't go past 8k so it has to be an older ute.

    Trying to keep it in the Nissan family maybe, so looking at older Navara's.

    Are there any older Navaras I should steer clear of?

    Does anyone have a suggestion on any other models for a good, reliable ute for around 8k. Prefer diesel, in fact....Must be diesel.

    Appreciate any advice!!!

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    My mate just bought a BA Falcon Ute RTV. It has raised suspension and a diff lock. Bloody good Ute, he paid 8k for it but you can't get them in diesel and it's not a Nissan!

    Got sick of Motorculture so gone back to Tappa

    I'm not really sure but I think they're a vacuum lock like in the patrols.

    That's the next step I think. 8k is not much and I am trying to convince them to get a GQ TD42 ute....They said "It's a bit old, might get some mechanical problems, etc".....How dare they...lol
