Evening all guys,
if some of you arent aware, i have been through a fair few vehicles since the patrol, needless to say im pretty bloody over cars.
i currently own a 2013 navara d40 titanium, but i reckon there is something serious on its out on it. possibly the injectors or turbo.
before that i had a holden adventra v8 with the intentions of using the motor for my patrol which i owned prior to that.
the injector pump failed on the patrol, after fully rebuilding the motor in 2013 and spending over 14k on the rebuild. this included new turbo, injector pump and head.
i have made a recent decision to bite the bullet and purchase a brand spanking new car, which has warranty.
i have owned my current car for just over 12 months, have clocked up around 70k on it, yes i do a fair amount of driving.
looking at the current cars available on the market that are utes most offer a 3-5 year limited kms warranty, i know the dmax offers a 6 year 150000 warranty but i would honestly chew through the kms on it in a couple of years..
currently im not sold but am actually considering the ssanyong musso purely based on the warranty available on it. took one for a test drive today and have to say it is a very very nice car to drive. they offer a 7 year unlimited kms warranty.
has anyone heard about these cars? i know they were around in the 90s when i was a kid, but disappeared for a while from the aussie market... oh and their cars were ugly as fck.
the model im interested in also ticks ALOT of boxes for me. im looking at the xlv variant, which ontop of being a dual cab has a 1600mm long tub and they are fairly wide so 3 adults on the back seat isnt a squeeze for width or leg room. that really is huge for me.
the price range for them is between 33k and 42k model dependent so i reckon they are a bargain but the warranty is really where my interest lies.
realistically im looking for some sage advice whether or not im crazy considering a smaller manufacturer like ssangyong or should i stick with the more tried and tested brands as i have done so in the past with second hand models and have just constantly been inheriting other peoples problems over and over.
looking for2ward to hearing other peoples thoughts
cheers
rusty.
