Hi everyone,
I am looking seriously at buying a 90 series Prado when the right vehicle comes along. I am open to looking at a 3.4 v6 Petrol or Diesel but wonder which one is a safer option, given that most 90 series here are in the 200,000 km- 300,000 km range. Just looking at something that will carry the family around and tow a 16ft Aluminium dinghy (don't expect it to be a perfect tow vehicle but capable).
I do have some reservations around buying a diesel given the reports of cracked heads etc but at the same time have seen a resonable 2000 model with 190,000kms on the clock that has me wondering about that option. I guess i am after everyone's opinion on the risk of a 90 series diesel with those sort of kms? Also people's opinions on the 3.4 V6 for what i would intend to use it for and are there any common problems with the petrol 3.4 V6?
Really appreciate everyone's help and experience (of which i can see there is a lot of on this site)
Regards,
Tas90.
