petrol & diesel 4 x 4's

[jetcrew]

Plenty of well serviced and still running GQ TD42 diesels with 600,000 on them.. dont see many petrol TB42 with that many klms without issues.

OPPS I think I got my   tb and TD confused sorry mate . I did mean the patrol 4.2T/D and agree it was a great engine.

Would still have to be one of my biggest regrets not buying a live axle 4.2 patrol when i bought the 3.0ltr new . But i think I,m not alone in those sleepness nights.LOL

What is your budget mate?
how many people
What must have?
Ute? wagon? Shorty? long wheel base?
Roofrack?

Age of car matter?

Some people here 100k is not much.. but most of us, its can be a stupid amount of cash.

He'd be talking about the 76, and he would be right, it runs out of mumbo at about 2500 rpm.

And Symon would be right, I work on a cattle station.

In Europe. Diesel is about 10c a litre cheaper than petrol(euro cents)

Most small cars, and larger cars all seem to be diesel.

They all seem to get good fuel economy and seam to last.
I had a work car,  diesel, that was given to me with314,000kn on it, I gave it back to the company with over 360,000km on it. Used about 5l/100km, when flogging it, it used about 5.8l/100km.
Never went to the garage in all the time ivhad it and the tight ass company I worked for probably never sent it there much before I had it.
I flogged it hard and abused it, and it still kept going. Was passed onto the next new employer after I left. The only thing it needed was 4 new tyres.
Just my observations,  but majority of care in Europe all seem to be diesel, and its cheaper to buy.
Majority of cars in USare petrol, and thats cheaper to buy
don't know if its any equation,  but you'd think it would be uniform globally,  at least for things like car longevity.
seems now, here at least off buying a new car, you'd buy a petrol.
I drive two petroleum, but wish I had a diesel,  that only because they are old and I get around ¹5-18l-100km, and because from Europe diesel's i cheaper to buy. both from caryard and bowser, in Australia, guess if new car, it would be petrol,  if older car it would be diesel.
