deeveus 81 Report post Posted November 9, 2012 (edited) Visit My Website I just can't see the point of them here in LHD in NZ @ 60k? The X5/Landcruiser e.t.c are big enough and do most big jobs but I'm really unsure what purpose such a car of this size would serve especially an 8.1 litre petrol V8 as listed, I thought these had an LS2 6.0 engine? The fuel consumption must be 30 plus which must be bloody boring to fill up every 5 mins... That equates to roughly $65 per 100km - if you're towing I'd estimate 40-50l per 100km - my calculator doesn't go that high sorry... Also if it's over weight it will probably require RUC ontop... The build quality and interior of these is enough to put me off, is that "leather" imitation vinyl? Edited November 9, 2012 by The Diesel Guy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like it's from the 80's (not in a good way either) and they hammered some shiney lights into the front. Oh... it IS! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
