Saw these two vehicles in Autotrader: (Both LWB)
2001 3.2 A/T, 313000 km @ R 124,900 and
2000 3.2 A/T 183000 km @ R 99,500
Price difference is roughly R 25k and 130,000 km less.
I am not aware if there were such a big difference in specs that the price difference could be so big. Can a year older vehicle be so much cheaper?
or... is this too good to be true?
What is the fuel comsumption like on these 3.2 diesels?
Comments?
Specs should be the same. The 2000 model with the lower km seem a bit "too Cheap" and the 2001 model with higher mileage a little "slightly too Expensive".
Do they both have full service history?
I would be wary of the 2000 model at that price with that low mileage on. It just does not make sense. Remember like my granddad always said when buying a BARGAIN. After the deal is done you sit with the "bargain" and the other guy with your money - "Passop!"

Oh by the way. Dont be put of my vehicle consumption figures. I usualy tow a 1.5ton caravan and have about a ton of extras bolted on and into my truck, so not really comparable to anyone.
You should get around 8-9km/l(+/-12l/100km) if driven properly.

Thanks CATS.
My thoughts is that the km must be worng or the clock "turned back" electronically. Biggest problem is that there is no way to confirm this.
Eish!

Hello - I bought a secondhand 3.2 DiD (2007) last year. when shopping around there was one pajero that was also suspect. for sale at a Centurion secondhand dealer.
The service intervals was regular until all of a sudden when the pajero was driven a lot in a short while and then (according to the book) not nearly at all. Also the wear and tear on the seats did not match the mileage. Also there is a small material flap between the dash (driver console) and the steering wheel - this flap was also clearly been disturbed significantly - all of these made me suspect that the clock has been turned. when I asked the sales person she was clueless and then I got a call from her manager the next morning telling me it was sold...
what I'm trying to say is look at all of the different clues when you actually view the vehicle. get a feel for how they should sound / look / smoke like and you will pick up on significant differences from the norm. But yes its much more difficult with the older models.
