FightTheBan 1,147 Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 Stay away from Navara is my main advice. They all have there ups and downs, my preverence would be hilux all the way. FTB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

breeze 1,293 Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 dogga . . . Like what's already been said you get good and bad in everything, If you get one that let's you down a few time's then that's classed as shite . . . Had this Hilux 3 yr now and (touch wood) never let me down Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dogga 1 Posted December 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 Decided on a hilux which I think was always gonna happen but jesus finding one isn't easy lol got around 7k to spend after a vx or gx with as low miles as possible so the hunt goes on cheers for the replies Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sick of buying other peoples 2nd hand f**k ups. Anyway for 7k i think you would be struggling for a newish low mileage Hilux. You could easy pick up an Warrior with lowish miles for that kind of money. FFS stay clear of the Nissans... Good luck Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Good luck I had a brand new warrior a couple of months back as a curtasy car when my 52plate navara had to go to the paint shop and i thought it was a pile of s**t.Had my navara a couple of years without a problem.
