[QUOTE="ironrock, post: 348807, member: 5581"] Looking to by a 2nd hand 4wd around 15k to 20k range around 6 months time. Have been researching all the popular models, and i tell you what, diesel`s scare the crap out of me. A new pump and injectors can set you back around 6k, sheesh you can by a reasonable sedan for that price. Most of the cars selling at this price range have done 140k to 220k and are all in that time frame of pump and injector replacement, so buy 20k car, then expect to spend close to another 10k to replace diabolically expensive parts. Out of all the popular models only a Toyota Hilux has the option of a petrol motor, and there are very few available at this point in time for sale, so it looks like i`ll have to be extremely lucky to find a decent one when it`s time to buy. Anyone know why all these other companies only build diesel`s, i guess they only think about the well off`s who can buy new, and dont give a rat`s about the poor sucker who buys years down the track. I will never buy a diesel, perhaps only if i ever get into a financial position that will allow me to do so to buy new. So; it would be good to hear about your stories? [/QUOTE]
