Thread: The great petrol vs diesel debate

I bought a 2wd lux with the 5le in it recently.
I wanted another ute but 3l 4wd hiluxes are stupid money considering they are all fucked.....they were all fucked when I sold mine maybe 6 years ago? and now they all have less kms
It is a really hard second hand market to buy in......I was so close to ticking up a new base model 2wd hilux.....Im shit scared of buying HP common rail with more than 100,000km on it and the money everyone is asking for low k ones(not just toyota) it makes no sense why wouldnt you buy new?
I cant afford new at the mo but most likely my next vehicle will be or very low k still under warrenty or something I can afford to dump if it shits itself....so I will be looking at either a new or a shitbox but not in the middle as too much money and too much risk.

Which poses a serious question, new vehicle losses are set to increase as wage earners (people who buy with their own money) become bloody wary of extremely high maintenance costs of relatively low km HPDI Diesels?
