go for the 3.0 ltr with that sort of money to play with.much better power wise ,not a lot of difference in the mpg.

hi and welcome.take alook in the for sale section with that sort of cash you can have the pick of surfs and you can even get a hairdressers surf for 3600 if its still for sale and have plenty left over for insurance

With 6k I'd go for a 3rdGen (as long as you have thick skin!) and don't mind plastic & hairdresser remarks from the jealous wannabe's!!!!

Hi Bobby and welcome!
Have a look at Vine Place - based in Newcaslte now. they've got an online show room - www vineplace com or something like that.
I bought mine from there two years ago and can recommend them!
with 6K to spend - I would get a 3.0 litre - far power grunt and similar mpg.
then with all the left over funds - you can get a lot of toys for it.
spots / lift kits / bobbox etc etc.
And when it comes to little problems / servicing / strange wee buttons - just ask the folks on here - with a wealth of knowledge (and wit??) you'll not be stuck for long.

Let us all know how you get on!!

Hi & welcome
And we don't complain about carrying tow ropes either

There's always a Payback .... You just can't see it Comin !!!!

[fatfires]

with that much you can get a good'un
look at both the 2nd and 3rd gens and decide what is for you, as far as I'm concerned I prefer the look of the 2nd gen but the 4x4 flexibillity on the 3rd is atractive - pity they are plasticy and alegedly driven by hairdressers/persons of doubtfull sexuality.
as said, with that amount of dosh you can get a nice 3.0l give it all the toys you want and still be cash in hand. look at the surfs for sale on here, at least it should be a looked after truck and the folks on here appear to be honest - if a little mad.
N.B. take the words 'appear' and 'little' with a pinch of salt!!!!

As has been said, you only need £2K to get a 2.4, If I was you I'd be looking at an early 3rd Gen (96' -on) or a mint 3.0TD 2nd Gen and have cash to spare.

[joker??]

welcome bobby !!! the previous threads say it all . 3.0TD !!!!
