Finally Pajero on the list I picked up my 2000 NM 2.8 4m40 for 7500 last year. Can not believe how good they are may even be better than the GQs I have owned and the sries 1 disco that I had

[@wyattfamily8997]

Agreed.

[@fretbrner]

The 01 to 07 Hyundai Terracan is based on the NM. Many parts are interchangeable.

I’ve got a 2001 nm v6 3.5L for $1500 I got a fucking bargain

[@cavxlier7822]

i would honestly love an NM/NP Pajero but i'd be doing more rock crawling than touring so i dont really like that it has independent rear suspension

[@theflash8501]

@@cavxlier7822 yea it would go alright but at the cost of fucking shit up and there’s not much flex on a stock nm/np

Scored myself a 3.0L 95 series prado 9 months ago. Few k’s. 386, 000k’s. Well serviced. Running 31” goodride radial M/T tires. I absolutely love driving it. Get just over a few hundred k’s on a full tank. Absolute beast of a machine. And, makes exceptional power

[@adamgregg2]

I picked up an auto V6 petrol N70 hilux earlier last year for just $18k with all the extras (bull bar, winch, second battery, roof rack w/ awning and solar panel, light bar, spotlights, rear light, UHF, 2" lift, BFG Ko2 A/Ts) - unreal value, best thing I ever did. Fuel efficiency anywhere between 14-20L/100km which is high, but love the power and torque you get from the stock petty engine, not to mention consistency across all rev ranges. Reliability of these motors with regular oil changes and care for the cooling system is second to none. Timing chain vs belt is another huge bonus.

I used to have a sweet disco 2 and stupidly sold it to my friend for cheap because I had not gotten into 4x4ing yet. With those diff locks I did take it on some super gnarly shit.

We bought a 200 Series petrol, against everyone’s recommendation...except for a diesel mechanic. The mechanic told us to do the sums on fuel usage and factor in the cost of servicing the big Cruiser if it had a diesel (especially one approaching the 200, 000 km mark). For us and the type of driving we do, we will have to travel over 100 000 klm’s before the cost of fuel catches up to the cost of buying a diesel 200 and its servicing. We get an average of 18 litres/100 km’s and our big girl does everything and goes everywhere the diesels go. We don’t regret going petrol at all!

[@marcosassaroli7446]

I got a 95 series Prado v6 with 315.000km for 6000$ with rwc, I definitely love it! Comfortable in the city and very capable off road.

[@liam090295]

@@BassHuntersozstyle not slow at all. Thirsty yes. Maybe 400-500km a tank depending how you drive and no discernible difference between petrol or diesel. Having had both I prefer my petrol one for the power and it's a quiet running machine. Will still crawl at low speeds invlow range too.

[@lovemypajero]

Not real slow and don’t drink too much either. The cape trip all loaded up it did 12.6lt/100kms, they only have a 72lt tank in them so it seems like we were always stopping for fuel. The L400 has the 4m40 and they can be tuned quite easy.

[@steveans]

Spot on about Petrol cars - Much better option than Diesel ESPECIALLY when buying old high Klm Turbo Diesel cars. Petrol: No DPF No EGR No AdBlue No stink No rattling No vibrations No shakes No need for new injectors ($8k) if you get a batch of watery fuel Later on: No Decoke needed No Catch can needed No expensive “Eco” engine oil Surprisingly similar long term Petrol running costs when above servicing included. AND: Aussies are falling out of love with high Kim High Pressure Turbo Diesels.

[@nicodarras3232]

You guys are making a great point here!.. I bought a 1998 Prado in pretty mint condition clocked at about 268000kms, 3.4L petrol for $5.5K cash after a little bit of bargaining. It was a couple of years ago but surely grabbed the best deal out there!! The cherry on the cake is that mods like Ironman bull bar, winch, UHF, Bridgestone AT tires, roof rack and awning also came in the package! I only had to change the radiator that was pretty roasted, did a full service and added a set of 2 inch Tough Dog suspensions and I was ready for any sort of adventures.. It means that I could use the spare cash for the rest.. The V6 always ran like a champion and the car's now fully kitted with lithium battery system and all the comfort needed for touring like a king.

I’ve got a petty FZJ80, getting between 18-22L/100km. Bought it for 8, and only now have I put 8k into it after having it for 3 years. The money put into it, has mostly been in suspension, tyres and rims, roof racks, roof top tent, fridge, compressor, solar setup, drawers, and many other camping accessories, and in my regular maintenance ie services and full bearing replacement. For the fact I’ve spent 16k in over 3 years, and the diesels in my area were chasing around 20-25k, I can’t fault it. Also only has 260k in the clock, was owned by an old couple prior to me and was as stock as a rock. In my opinion for the money spent, I think it was the best option at the time.

@@10Mbowman You obviously haven't even watched this video. They actually say the water pump on the Pajero they are recommending, is $5k+ to replace. Now, i found that absolutely ridiculous, and hard to believe, so i googled it, and it is true. You can't get replacement pumps for normal prices, you have to send your old one off to get rebuilt which costs $5k, and then have it installed, and shit like that. So it is a fact mate, unless the situation has changed since this video was made, and since the forum posts i read, were made. Knowing the right people won't help you, if your people don't have this unobtainable pump, and they won't. And if you don't know the right people, then you have even less hope. So it's just an idiot move to recommend this Pajero...
