Am currently on the look out for 2.4 td surf.

Can you guys give me some much appreciated advice on what to look out for ? There are quite a few on ebay at the moment and as i dont mind travelling i will probably be buying very soon !

What sort of MPG am i looking at, insurance group, any info whatsoever will be gratefully recieved , cheers !

Mart, use the search facility at the top or look in the FAQ section. You'll find answers to all your question there.

[marty--b]

Oh forgot something ! Which is the best model to get ie. SSRX etc..

Any differences between models ?

[Esamed]

Guess what ?, You can search this to.

Get a 3ltr

I'm not coming across negative but the best thing to do is like Tallyman says, use the search facility at the top of the screen and you'll be amazed what you'll find

I wasn't being negative but couldn't spell a that long word begining with ph or f and ending in S can't even get close with word. No offence intended.

has anyone got a clue?

Got the message

Was just being lazy after a hard days work and thought i'd try it this way before i done that searchy thingy !

[Esamed]

On a more serious note why the 2.4 and not a 3.0?
Would the pennies stretch?

Steve

[Chillitt]

a whole new can of worms... why buy a car off e-bay???
imho it would be a good place to unload a nail!
buy bits, but a whole surf??

[rusty]

++ more grunt, less worry over poss head prob

-- more mulooha required to purchase

[marty--b]

The pennies will stretch no problem, i was more concerned with the running costs, mainly fuel ! But since doing a search , i have noticed that the 3.0 ltr returns 25+ mpg !

Are they a little better than the 2.4 or miles better ?

[Esamed]

Saves having to part ex them in now, just sling em on Ebay. Like the phrase seen on here Delbay.

spending this sort of money would go to a dealer and get some form of warranty.

As for mpg, my 2.4 was doing around 21/22 on a good day but that was with a slowly failing head and block.

2.4 less efficeint at pulling 2tone than a 3.0ltr.

Hang on a minute if you search this.....

spooky.

if you want economy either will do -Depending on what you call ecconomic - it is a 2tonne aerodynamic breezeblock after all. Don't buy the V6 unless you are prepared to gas it (mine does about 12 mpg)

[marty--b]

Well after reading the threads about veg oil i think i am gonna go for the 3ltr

As for the interior spec and all the toys you get i'm still a bit baffled ! But getting there !
