Yeah i agree, lol

petrol no way, even if it was a diseal, k's too high for a petrol, your cars worth bout $16 000 and say you get 4000 ur still paying like $12 000 for a 9 year old 4X4

I wouldn't say it's a terrible deal at all, the $4000 part is mabye a bit too much but vy execs. are not worth anything these days.How many kays has your vy done?With a bit of fine tuning and depending on the condition of the 4x4 i would consider this deal for sure.

Well, its about on par for a deal i'd say.
But personally i wouldnt touch a petrol 4x4, turbo diesel all the way.
And if a 4x4 is what you are after, then i'd say sell your VY and find one that is perfect for you, you dont have to do a trade just becuase the option came up to.

Wernt you after a Turbo XR6 a while back??
What happend to a performance car lol

LOL...Yeh tossing between performance and off Road....
All I have owned is 4x4's I'm heavy into Off Road, but don't mind quick cars as well, It was a choice between what I wanted more...Camping and off road or cruzes and a quick car/loss of licence etc, i think my heart is with the 4x4's, I can always build a quick car later on and have both... It will be a Datto with a Holden engine..........

i wouldnt trade your vy for a petrol patrol mainly because you will be looking at 17l/100km and upwards for a start, much better off looking for a diesel,


my friends parents have a 4.5 manual gu and there putting endless amounts of fuel through it, just a warning,

also petrol engine + water crossings dont mix to well a lot of the time
