Default Hey

Hey everyone,

I'm RicK and I'm buying a JK

So far I have the list down to 2.
It will either be a 2007 Unlimited Sport Turbo Diesel with 80,000km's (50,000 mile) on the clock for $33,000AUD
or
2010 Unlimited Sport Petrol with 30,000km's (18,500 mile) for $36,000AUD

I'm really stuck though, the Diesel is older and stock standard where as the petrol is new and shiny and already had upgraded suspension/rock rails/satnav/bull bar ect...

Can anyone offer any advice? My friends who all drive Toyotas and Nissans are telling me I'm mad not to buy the Diesel. Is diesel REALLY that much better???

Cheers
RicK

The 2007 will be 5 years old in 2 months, and the 2010 has 31,500 less miles. That's an easy choice to go with the 2010

I think you would be nuts to buy something 3 years older with no mods and 31,500 more miles.

Thanks for your reply. The good one was sold by the time I went back to the dealership...
So I'll keep looking.
