Which Vehicle
I live in Australia and am in the process of researching 4WDs.
I have narrowed the choice to Toyota Landcruiser, Land Rover Defender or Nissan Patrol. All cost about the same 2nd hand here in OZ for a model 2-3 years old. All are diesel, some turbo some not. Most would not have done more than 45,000 klms at time of purchase.
I intend to buy a trayback model and add a trayback camper which has bedding, tent canopy, fridge, storage and so on.
What I am most interested in is opinons on the availability of spare parts for the various models in Africa, re-sale value of the various models in Europe, particularly France, and reliability of the various models. This is a big ask so if anyone has any links to chat sites on the topics I'd be most grateful. Personal opinions and experiences are also most welcome. The trip I intend to take will cover all terrains, not just Saharan.
