Hey @craig.trainer , Welcome to the forum. Ive honestly only ever sat in an Np300 so I'm definetly not the best judge of what your looking to buy.. Although, the bullbar, the canopy, the after market wheels - These are the better part of 8k alone
A car with 80k kms and for the price its going for seems like a decent buy, especially in a market like we are seeing. If your interested, definetly take this one for a run and see how you go.. Im sure more d23 owners will come in and tell you for some look fors or steer clear ofs
Let us know how you go

You only have to scroll through the last couple of years' worth of posts to see how bad the 2015 Navara really is. Problems like soft big end bearings, thin conrods, piston domes punched through, valves bending ... the list goes on, here's the number of times it's happened that I remember:

ZERO.

Near as I can tell they're good cars. Doesn't mean there can't be a bad one, and it doesn't mean that they can't be mistreated and become bad. However, we've not had any major issues that I can recall - and internet forums are a magnet for people with problems with these things.
