Better than a 105.... hmmmm.

Luxury - 200
Off road - Wrangler Rubicon / (or unimog)
Robust design - Gelandewagen

Dont see you as 76 or 78 troopy man, and definitely not a 79 man, so i guess its the Rubicon?

You skipped 80, Russ... :wink:

200 is just not my cup of tea styling wise, although I think it is a good package mechanically

Wrangler Ruby is awesomely capable, but I prefer to have as few doubts as possible about reliability and durability, so I firmly believe in Japanese automotive engineering.

Gelaendewagen is one of my favourites, but it has its disadvantages (I am not a fan of the suspension setup, for example)

76, 78, 79 have a certain appeal, but you are right, they are not right for me.

80 .... completely left that out! You wont be sorry, very robust, more-so than the 105 apparently. Some really good examples on the market at present due to the influx of 105's on the market from 150 and/or 200 upgrading, pushing the 80 price down, better for the second hand consumer.

Post a pic man.

Had a look at two 105's last week, both had over 300k km at both over R260k. Is there a reason a Patrol for the same price isn't an option? Would be less mileage etc.

If my boet saw this ad last week... :doh:

Patrols are amazing value for money and are supremely capable, reliable and durale. No question about that, but as I said, I am merely going down my automotive bucket list...

Imvubu is gone (traded in) :sad: :cry: .

The old monster did one final trip with us taking our family safely across the country in style and comfort (fuel consumption 6.1 km/l, running on 285/75R16 MTs, but with no roof rack and not towing anything).

I hope she gets the new owner that she deserves.

Farewell Old Girl :salute: .

Damn, I'm sad right now...
