I am able to get my hands on a 94 Discovery V8i dual fuel with stuffed head gaskets for $500 (that's for me only, it's not for sale to others, sorry).
The pros:
What a deal!
Solid front axle
Coil suspension
Probably doesn't need much for RWC.
Head gaskets not a big problem.
On LPG.
The cons:
Aren't landy parts stupidly expensive?
It's in Queensland, would have to transport it down.
Petrol engine, yuck.
Crap fuel economy.
What the heck do I want a wagon for?
I don't want to pay two sets of rego, insurance, servicing and don't need two cars
Every dollar I spend on the Landy is a dollar the Nav wouldn't see
Too many awesome Landies on the tracks already, whereas the Nav would be one of a kind.
But for what I'd have to spend on the Navara to make it SFA and dual air lockers, I could make the Landy a weapon.
I can't:
Sell the Navara.
Resell the Landy at a profit (Or can I...?)
So, do I just ignore this opportunity? The decision seems made but I'd like your input please fellas, you guys always have some good ideas.
