To buy or not to buy....

Hi all, I m a new member (learning fast!) in the market for a D90 and up until recently I was just looking at standard, little modified diesels,simply because I am clueless about them! I recently looked into the V8/LPG conversion option for economy and also because it seems environmentally friendlier. However, I do not want to end up with a potato.
What do you think? Btw, my budget is around 4k, could stretch only slightly if it's worth it.

Thanks

Personally i'd stick to diesel, unless the V8's are factory fitted then you can come into all sorts of cooling problems (although some are done well) and youll spend more time fixing it or waiting it to cool than actually driving it!

If you can find one, a 200/300 TDi is ideal and you should be able to find one for that kind of money.

Thanks for that,  I m trying and there are so many variations out there. Is it safe to assume that the later the model the better the car, i.e. 1998 better than 1991?
Struggling with models later than 95 for my budget at the mo  :?

my mate has a 200tdi H reg truck cab forsale at the moment,i canny mind how much he is looking for it but i can find out a contact No for you etc

africa-eko:
Crash course over the last month and I have now sold my car so really need to get a move on. Stuck on landys since my 18month overland in Africa a couple of years ago.
Any decent 90s you know are for sale up to 4k please let me know.
Also , does anyone know what difference in price to expect between a hard top and a CSW?  :roll:
