[QUOTE="David-Karratha, post: 655769, member: 22207"] Ex mining vehicles can be a bit of a hit-or-miss proposition. I’ve done far too many kms in mine vehicles, often hammering up and down our rail access roads, and yeah, when these vehicles are replaced, they’re usually well & truly buggered. On the other hand, I’ve seen Land Cruiser and Prado vehicles go to auction, that were basically personal vehicles for managers & superintendents, which have basically done nothing but drive to site & back (all usually on blacktop). I’d buy one of them in a heartbeat. At least with a mine spec vehicle, it’ll be fitted with roll-over protection, it will have been inspected daily and serviced by the book, and any defect will have been repaired immediately. It might also have done 250k on corrugated roads… And yes, it’ll almost invariably be a Toyota Hilux or Landcruiser. [/QUOTE]
