Advice on advertised 4.2 Diesel Please

Post by danschmann »

Hi all, I'm a newb looking for some advice on a possible purchase - I'd really appreciate any help.

Has anyone come across this Vehcile before? http://www.gumtree.co.za/cp-cars-in-bel ... -540132234 , Seems to be in decent condition and well priced but the dealer had no idea about its history.

And could anyone recommend a Patrol expert in Cape Town I could pay to have a proper look at it?

Many thanks.

Dan.

Hi,

Who ever is trying to tell you that that vehicle is a 2003 model, is lying through his teeth.

Probably a 1995/6 model, not a bad price.

Contact tour de frans on the forum. He is a 4.2 d buff. And he is in Cape Town. That is certainly not a 2003 model. It is an old shape Patrol.they stopped making that shape in 1997.

Hi I had a look at the troll when it was at Motorport VW, they traded it in. Needs some spray work on the left front fender and its an Argentinian import.
Did not drive it but looks in general fair condition.
