HELP ME DECIDE!!!

Postby SIRIUS2774 on Wed Dec 12, 2007 1:23 am

I AM THINKING OF BUYING A SECOND HAND FRONTERA AND HAVE SEEN 2 THAT I LIKE. ONE IS A 1999 2.2 DTI LWB WITH 100000 ON THE CLOCK THE OTHER IS A 2001 2.2 SPORT SWB WITH 57000 ON THE CLOCK. BOTH IN MINT CONDITION.
I OCCASSIONALLY HAVE TO TOW A BOAT THAT WEIGHS 2 TON ON THE WEIGH BRIDGE AND I WANT ONE THAT IS BEST KNOWN FOR RELIABILITY. THE 2.2 SPORT LOOKS SMALL BUT COOL ( SHE LIKES IT )BUT IS IT UP TO IT. MY OTHER WORRY IS WILL IT DRINK THE PETROL..... :!:

diesel every time however with that weight a 2.8 or 3.2 v6 is a better buy

dont know how much your looking to spend but there is a swb at strathstone harrogate very cheap and its a 3.2 olympus

on towing with a petrol not much difference between a 3.2 v6 or a 2.2 petrol

its worth a look full service history 57 k

just got a dti but that one was in the running

be quick they are trading it soon
