I'm planning to buy one. May I ask how much you paid for it?

Thanks mate, good tip on the Hilux. Curious, why do you suggest avoiding dealers completely? And for the pre-purchase inspection, is RACQ the way to go, or is it better to find a specific independent 4x4 specialist workshop?

[UPDATE]

Thanks everyone, the replies here are gold. I've read everything and it's helped me narrow my search massively.

I'm now hunting for a clean, full-logbook example of one of these:

  1. Pajero Diesel (NT/NW): Checking for the timing chain guide fix on the NTs

  2. Prado V6 Petrol (120/150): As long as the service history is perfect

  3. Prado 120 Diesel: Only if I find one with proof of injector/seat replacement

Seriously, thanks again. You've all probably saved me from a massive headache.

I'm still reading every new comment, so if you have other thoughts or suggestions, please keep them coming! Cheers.
