After spending some time in my mates disco recently I’m now looking to get one too. He’s got a D2 on big steels with a small lift, snorkel and light bar.
I’ve got about £4500-£5000 to spend and I’m wondering what would be best. Buying one already done or buying one and then modding myself.
There are a couple on eBay that look interesting. Spoke to a fella today who seemed a decent guy with a black one on big tyres, with cream leather up for £4995 ono
I want something that I could do a couple of runs a week to the station with and then do some Greenlanes occasionally.
We live in the countryside, have a kid and a Rottie, and I just fancy something rugged. We have a 340i touring as well for normal duties, and I’ve previously been more of a sports car enthusiast. But I’ve just turned 41 and I fancy a change, something I can have fun and not get done for speeding. Again.
For that money and those requirements what would your recommendations be?
Fuel costs not a big issue as miles covered will likely be minimal. So the V8 sound track beckons, but I’ve read a few threads where people are quite outspoken against the big petrol and most seem to favour the td5
Whilst fuel costs not an issue, reliability and general main tended expenditure will be. As big bills will get me in all sorts with the mrs.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions/advice.
Also, should I be looking anywhere other than eBay, AT and PH?
