G'day,
I'm new here and might be buying my first Patrol (well swapping my VY SS for one anyway!). I've been talking to a bloke about a 1991 N/A TD42 GQ with 334xxx kms, 3inch lift, 33s, dual battery, lightbars, UHF, awning, snorkel etc. He has priced it around 7.5 - 8K. He says it has "no rust at all" which is hard to find on a coastal GQ I've heard and no leaks, serviced 2000kms ago. I daily a little Lexus so I'm not looking to put a monstrous amount of kms on the Patrol so I'm not too worried about the somewhat high (compared to the usual cars I buy) kms. Now keep in mind I haven't gotten the chance to look through the vehicle in person yet but plan to midweek.
Basically I want a reliable diesel bus just for some beach work and the occasional road trip. Depending on how it goes it might even get a turbo, who knows.
As you're the experts, I'd love to hear what you have to say and what I should be wary of and keep an eye out for.
Cheers,
Shaun
