Good morning all the Patrollers

I have dreamt about a Patrol for a long time.

So I am on the verge of purchasing this one.

Is there anybody that can check this one out for me in Durban.

I am coming from an Amarok V6 so its quite an adjustment but very excited.

Looking at that, and seeing as the previous owner has not tried to hide anything, I don't thing that little bit of rust is anything worse than what would be visible launching a boat in dam water, or even normal wear from stone chips knocking the paint off the front end any car.

Have a look under all the plastic and that will give you a better idea, but In my opinion It's acceptable.

Oh... and Welcome to the Patrol Family

Welcome!

I might be a bit out of touch with pricing these days, but, is that one not maybe R20k too expensive?

Get hold of Tinus Lotz on the forum as well though, he will be able to help you out with finding a good one too.

I would not be too worried about the rust, but that being said, try to look in the hard to reach places. Also check that the diff breathers are intact.
