Hi, i'm in Perth at the moment and looking to purchase a 1992 hilux surf 2.4 diesel, 148000ks. Recommendations on make and model appreciated.

hey carl, good to see another of our mates from across the ditch :wink:

a lot of people have very strong opinions about the 2.4 and its unreliability but if its a non turbo and well serviced then its gonna do you well (probably :wink: )

having said that i would personaly go for a mid 90's (95 - 96) LN106 i think the model is 2.8d myself, have had one and loved it,had a coustomer who had the same and it had over a million kms on it with no serious issues (serviced every 5000k).

let us know what you get when you get it and as always please, please post pics :wink:

i would get it checked over by your local diesel specialist first tho, leak down and compression tested. worth the money in the long run.
