    Land rover Discovery 4 crew cab.

    3.5 t, not bad on fuel, comfortable and i believe the older discovery 3 actually won tow car of the year.

    Putting 25000 miles/year on a jeep would be a rob in running costs and depreciation. People don't get the full shock until they try to trade in those high mileage jeeps

    Going by DD , high mileage seems to have little effect on price ,three year old landcrusers with 160000 km are the same price as those with 60000km

    land rover discovery are much nicer to drive than a landcruiser but nowhere near as reliable, that goes double for the range rover

    Big crew van on finance. No heed on maintenance costs get a service plan worked into the purchase, any problem the warranty should cover it and then just get a new one in 3 years time. Could be managed favourably for tax purposes perhaps. Takes the risk out of buying 2nd hand.

    2.3 ducato, Renault Master etc. Heavy duty ones rated for 3500kg. There's even 4x4 versions although I'd imagine they're pricey.

    Maybe financing a crewcab could be another option although I'd be thinking it'd be quite a bit dearer.

    Are they really making that price, Guys around here hoping to sell them on donedeal either have them traded in or are still driving them. they claim all you get on donedeal is a chat, even if you put the price on them.

    Are you referring to fresh or old ones ?

    I may have misunderstood your earlier post, I was on about Landcruisers less than five year's old ,the dealers look the same for one with 150000 km as 50000km

    Regarding older ones, while you see lads looking 9k for the likes of 06 Landcruisers, my brother had his 06 up twice on DD for 7200 in 2019 , thats several months, he had two viewings and neither were more than tyre kickers, he eventually traded a few months back against a 2017 businesses class with a dealer

    Not as easy sell privately as you might think

    Yea a lot of time wasters on done deal, Sellers are dreamers with their prices and buyers only looking for something to do.
    Those landcruiser business class are very expensive, over priced because of the cheap tax I suppose, but even I couldn't justify it.
    I think they wanted around 40000 with my 2012 Hilux for a two or three year old one,
    For some reason a friend of mine is paying 1200 to insure one, I wonder is that the norm.

    I don't know what the brother is paying but 1200 seems very high

    The reason the business class is so high is because the new ones took a 20% price hike over two years ago, the VRT rate was changed by the government ,prior to that , a business class was 58k straight or thereabouts, they are 72 k brand new today, leaves second hands very expensive themselves

    Brother paid just shy of 39 k along with his 06 SWB commercial for a 2017 with 60000 km on the clock

    Dealer was looking 45950 for the jeep, he probably gave my brother 5k at best but whatever way you look at it, they are very pricey

    Any one ever try a Santa Fe converted to a crew cab? Maybe not exactly this one as I dont think tan leather would go well with cow dung but something similar to this

    https://www.donedeal.ie/commercials-for-sale/hyundai-santafe-crew-cab/25507453

    Anyone have one or a commercial one? What I'm getting at is the 2.2 engine good to pull/tow?

    They're a poor engine and heavy on diesel. Lots of issues with the injectors and injection pump/fuel pump setup.

    Just generally noted as being soft and there's often quite a few on dd for breaking with the engine gone.

    them larger crewcab vans are under a new VRT headings since July/August 2018. I think the same time the landcruiser business was changed also

    Anyway the price for new went up about 20% I think back then

    They look alright but a1.9l would only be suitable for pulling a few calves or sheep.

    1.9 here and she’ll walk away with five cows in the box unreal torque and a lovely low first gear for takeoff. Looked at all other models when changing but dismissed all based on 1st gear being too high.

    Yes, I traded a 10 plate L200 and delighted with change. It’s a beast to pull and travel ground, splashed out on a set of BF Goodrich All terrain tyres makes a job of it

    Never heard a bad word about those Isuzu dmax bar they're not exactly range rover comfort levels?

    Why did Isuzu stop making the trooper, was it down to emissions making them a non runner?

    Even in the nineties, the trooper was rough and ready

    The 3.1L was high geared bit once you got going she’d show on
    Is there a high-low box on the Dmax?

    Always has been. I have a 14 year old one here and it has the electronic range shift. Got one clutch at 200,000 km, a window regulator last year and nothing else in the 10 years I have it. Only 240,000 on her so I plan to keep her another 5+ years.

    Not sure if the Dacia Duster should be in this thread with the op looking for a towing vehicle and a family carrier combined.
    The towing capacity is 1500kgs but it'd do the family carrying and fairly cheap to run and cheap to buy. 4wd too so go anywhere.

    Anyone have one and what do you make of it?

    Didn't look through all the thread but the Toyota Rav4 always had a good name. Towing capacity 1800kgs.

    maybe consider the jeep grand cherokee

    as long as you dont buy anything older than 2011 , you are getting a very decent 4wd , they improved no end from 2011 on , great to look at if you like the big american aggressive 4wd look ?

    cheap second hand , biggest issue is there are hardly any dealers left as jeep always floundered in ireland , they are successful most places but a relative flop across the board here

    they arent sh1t anymore though , not as reliable as toyota for sure but way more craic , id take one over a pajero any day of the week

    They look very American but engines are now Italian and transmission German- ZF

    Has anyone any experience of a Ssangyong Musso? I think there a 2.2 litre. I see a few starting to appear locally but there not about long enough to critique them. There not especially cheap and I'd imagine there trade in against anything else would be nearly none existent.

    They seem to be getting good reviews anyway, but as you mentioned depreciation would be an issue

    Do you do repairs yourself on it. I think if you are handy enough and do a bit of welding some repairs, something like this would suit a lad but if you have to bring it to a garage it could rob you. The new kia sorento 7 seater are a fair looking beast and could do both family and farming and would keep herself happy.

    depreciation would be cruel, ssangyong had a terrible name for a long time and fairly justified too
