Will be watching this with interest as I'm thinking about buying a new one, seem better value than the Mitsi L200 or similar.

I'd say forget them unless you are going to go for the new shape. I have an 02 reg on 70k and its been a right shed the last 6 months.......new clutch, power steering going, exhaust falling off, dodgy back lights and the fuel tank has came away from the body at the cap. It seems quite high geared and makes pulling away from junctions with a trailer on pretty hard and probably the reason for so many clutches going.

Saw this linked from another forum the other day, I'd not be buying one in a hurry that's for sure!!!

 

Quote from the lad who owned it:

You'd have to be on crack to buy one after hearing that!

I have had two navaras from new both D40s the first one i got in 2006 and kept it for two years it had a few minor problem but nothing to worry about. The second i got in 2008 and has been a great motor loads of power al the extras and toys and will go almost any where. I will be selling mine soon and getting another as no other firm make anything as good in my opinion.You can get five people in the cab put over half a ton on the back an still have the power to spare. I know nissan have had there problems with the navara but it is still the best double cab pick up in the uk.

[Guest alastair]

would nt touch the navaras,its russian roulette if your clutch,engine etc give out,not to mention the air bag probs from new.toyota hilux or what i have allways had for many years isuzu,tf,rodeo honest workhorses.
