thank you people for your quick replies regarding the other LC option i talked about in the other post. i would now want to know which SUV should i go for in a budget of 1-1.2 million? my needs are daily travel along with frequent tours in interior punjab and uphill mostly in the tough terrain and no roads. i would appreciate personal experiences. i would like to see the parts and mechanics comfort too. the options have been narrowed to 1. 5 door Pajero intercooler turbo 94 or 95 model 2. Toyota land cruiser 93 or 94 model 3. toyota prado 5 door 3000 cc i would list it separately, a good hiace 10 seater loaded model 94 or 95 or a townace model of same year? would be waiting for your personal experience based replies . regards Dr. Ambrose Abbottabad
Well Dr. Ambrose can u please answer the following question so your option will set to one.
Price range:Comfort level: as Intercooler is more luxurious then LC. (Personnel experience)Daily Drive: So you can calculate the best average. Maintenance: LC is more Hard and if maintained then it will not let u dowmResale Value: Inter cooler has more Resale value then LC of 92-93Durability: LC is More Durable. Off Road Uasge: For Off road LC is Best
Along this u have also other option
Toyota Hilux SSR Usually called SURFRange Rover
IMO Toyota Townace Noah 1998-2000 will be your best bet in this budget, if you can find one in this range.
bro the only thing with townace space cruiser..its like sitting on a bouncing ball when u were a kid..i never understood why toyota did it fitting the springs right underneath ur bum..

Pajero Gen 1 OR Gen 2. Low running/maint. cost / Cheap & easy avail. of engine & body parts etc.Pajero gets the job done precisely while having luxury & comfort at the same time.
The 93 Landcruiser you talkin bout' was already beaten by Gen. 1 Pajero in its time. i posted that competition photo recently of that magazine cover.

The best option:
If you get a maintained 70 Series TLC with 1KZ it will be the best option. Pajero is good but dont think that its maintenance is low compared to land cruiser. As you have posted that you will drive on rough terrain so Prado should be good. Pajero is more comfortable but for off road nothing comes closer to Land Cruiser.
thank you all for your so generous and kind words and suggestions. this really has helped me alot . i have a question from the pajero users, do u guys get any problems with the pajero engines ???? i am suggested by many about going for the automatic 2500 or 2800 intercooler rather than the manual one.. what i personally think is that pajero is more in contrast to the LC rather than the prado.. i mean just my amateur thinking... your suggestions would be valuable for me ..
