Hello

I am currently looking at purchasing a second hand Patrol SUV. You can get a TD 2005 model for approx 30 - 35k with with all the extras like steel bull bar, snorkel, lift kit etc. These cars usually have around 200k's on them already.

I would no normally buy a car with that many k's on the clock and I am just wondering if I should look at getting something with less than 100k's on the clock or are the ones with 200k's going to last.

I would be putting up to 30k's a year on it myself.

Any help would be appreciated.

Always go for the lowest Ks Patrol you can find.
All depends on your budget as well
Seems alot for an 05 model I paid nowhere near that for a pristine 04 stock as a rock never off road one.
Look at the 4.2 TD you you want higher Ks they're only just run in at 200 K

Budget is the main problem
High Ks well serviced, Vs low Ks minimal serviced, flogged to death,hmmm tuff call ......

For that price it may have been a 4.2 maybe. there is a patrols for sale section here somewhere.
might be worth checking

Hey Rhino,

I'm in the same situation as you. Looking at probably getting the 4.2 GU.

Good Luck
