G'day fellas,

I'm very close to buying my first Nissan Patrol and just need some first hand knowledge from you guys.

I've found a 2011 DX GU 7 3.0 Turbo Diesel that has done 85,000km for a good price but want to know if it'll be good for my everyday use. I'll use it to do some off road driving to my fishing and hunting spots and will also do some proper 4x4ing. It will also be used for towing a 750kg boat short distances (max 3hrs). It will also be used for driving around town.

I know they aren't very fuel efficient but I'm not too worried about that, I mainly want to know how it will perform and if it will be suitable. I drove a Nissan Navara for a few years and much prefer driving larger cars around town.

Also I live in Eltham, Victoria if that helps.

Cheers!
