Where to find your next Pajero

A good friend is selling his 2007 Gen4 GLX (he already has a buyer). He doesn't like the large figures on the quote for a new Pajero, so he is looking for a LWB in the R500k range. We have checked the Mitsu SA website and Autotrader. Where else should we be looking?

Ah, I have just trawled Gumtree. Can you believe, it seems the dealers prefer G/T to Autotrader? I have answered my own question.

AND, as per standard procedure is there a V6 2012 with 40k for R370k and a same aged DiD with 60k for R470k. Guess which one I would buy???

I have a 2010 gen 4 GLX (140kW engine) for sale.
150 000kms on the clock - going next week for 150k service.
Will then get new set of rear tyres and have about 10 000kms on front set - BF Goodrich ATs.
Have about R60ks worth of extras available.
Selling reluctantly - moved to a neighbouring country and finding it a mission to have the vehicle serviced. Have to downgrade to a Toyota or similar...

Hi All

I've viewed that Durban Pajero at the bargain price. If it's too good to be true, it usually is. Whoever had it didn't look after it - even the ceiling of the Paj has plenty of smears. It's definitely accident damaged - and the repair wasn't done very well - it was pretty obvious, even to my untrained eye. The ABS light was constantly flashing while driving and the rear door sensor as well - no doubt due to a back smash (panels didn't line up on the door).
Had a look at the papers, and it didn't register as a built-up, so could have been a minor accident

It did drive well - didn't notice anything alarming (again, I'm no pro in this dept. either).

There's no service history either.
Must be said, the seller was a nice chap and didn't seem to try to hide anything.
Being a bank repo - it's likely that the owner didn't have bucks to service and maintain it properly either - so all in all I'd stay away.
