wirral countryman 2,110 Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 I worked for Nissan main agents and still know plenty of lads in there and they are only good for 50,000miles,loads of problems as described by gone to earth,the engines wear out very quickly mate so beware,the 4x4 market is a very unreliable one these days as most have inbuilt faults that let the market down badly,if you really need an off road vehicle do a lot of research,I've worked for all the main agents and unless you're buying new where you're covered by a decent warranty they can be very costly,atb,wirralman Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hunt 30 Posted July 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 Be quick on the vw front I looked at them only a few left to buy new in the country excellent motor and only a two litre to boot vw couldn't tell me wether they would be realising more next year so secondhand price will stay high there not daft zee Germans I like the look if the navara but It needs to be reliable I think either hilux or isuzu is coming out in top so far was it the l200 new shape or the old one you had trouble with mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
