Buying A Surf

Post by Fourbyfour »

Hi Guys, just planing on getting rid of my Nissan terrano (Japans revenge on the world) and replacing it with a 99/2000 model 3.0 litre turbo diesel Surf. I was just wondering if these have any issues to be wary of and would be interested in any comments.

Yes you're right there but I have had a good run out of Toyota's in the past and only strayed from them when I bought the Terrano, my God was I punished for that.

Yes I bought the Terrano on reports I had heard about the Patrol, little did I know that the difference in quality of the two vehicles is like Chalk and cheese.
