New shoot bus

[Stavross 13,711]

Nowt to do with shooting but,

Have any of you lot had any experience with these, I’ve been offered this it’s on a 66 plate, automatic 2.5 bi turbo, I can have it for £12,000 + VAT, looking at them it’s well below book price, just wondering if there’s any common problems to look out for with them

A little one to help the big one blow harder,  ( Oow errr missus ) reducing lag, I’ve driven this a lot and it doesn’t half shift for a big heavy truck, mind you, so does the fuel gauge when you put your foot down

thats a good price stav, it was between one of them and a Hilux when I was looking!

my mate bought one the other day, hes owned Isuzu's before and likes them.. he puts them through hell too

Farmer next door has one as his daily runaround/work truck (an amarok for best ) and he speaks highly of it. Tows very well. I think the older models were prone to the turbo failing & there is the well documented issues with the rear leafs. Full service history on it?

Yeah, it’s got full dealer history, it’s done about 50,000 miles, it’s still got a years warranty on it, it’s got a few little marks on it, but it’s been used as a work truck, there’s a little bit of damage to the o/s front bumper where he hit a deer, but I know a good body lad, I’ve been looking at them and I can’t find one for less than £17,500 and that was high mileage

I wouldn't worry at all about scratches & dents mate, like you say it's done what it's made for (like scars on a lurchers nose!!!) 

50,000 diesel suzie engine with full history sounds like a cracking deal to me.

Looks like I’m going to have to try and sell my little Tiguan

[philpot 4,925]

I like both the proposed new truck but also the veedubya,  I am a veedubya fan Stav and fancied the Tiguan mind you I LOVE the new larger Tiguan, really nice.

GET IT BOUGHT STAV.

I hope he's getting the inside valeted, the time I got in it, it looked like the bag on a hoover had blown up inside

Good price for that though and average miles.

Paint some stripes on it and you'll have no poachers ever!
