Hi Guys,
Thanks for your replies.
Thanks for the suggestion on the Nissan Terrano. I hadn't seen one of those before. The Toyota Hilux and the Landcruiser appear to dominate the central asia region with a lot of Landrovers being used for Africa.
The 3.0TD 90/Colorado/Prado options are a modern and therefore potentially more difficult to fix, right? Have many people used this vehicles in central asia? and been able to find mechanics easy to any problems?
As I do not have a lot of experience fixing vehicles I'm inclined to stick with something simpler and more familiar to the region. Does anybody have any good tips to know when looking to buy a LC80?
I've already exchanged a few emails with Julian and know of his reputation. I'm wondering what a reasonable budget is for getting a car expedition ready. From many of the websites I've seen there seems a pattern of a base list of items. Then it moves into some specific high end stuff if you want to get fancy. Would 2-3k be reasonable as long as the car doesn't need any major work?
Jon
