Harvs11 Posted 7July, 2013 Author Report Share Posted 7July, 2013 From memory I seem to remember him looking for an old range rover? Happy memories of my Rangie almost floating down the Wongangatta river . Not too much bogan about that , is there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamWolf Posted 7July, 2013 Report Share Posted 7July, 2013 Alright, clearly the level of interest in what I bought is far higher than I would ever have thought, so at risk of ruining (or, more likely, reenforcing) my reputation here... Holden Adventra? Jeep Cherokee? Volvo XC90 V8? 2010911C4 got it in one. It's a 5.7L V8 with custom exhaust, full leather interior and an idiot with lowered ears and a big grin driving it. It looks greenish in the photos but it's more of a teal (apparently so my lovely lady tells me - I'm a man with a V8 so I only recognise primary colours). The main reason I chose this over an XC90, X5 or Jeep is no-one in Newcastle will service an XC90 (and I'm sick of working on my road cars), I couldn't find an X5 with the kilometers or condition that matched the asking price, and Jeeps are Jeeps (aka made from cast iron and bailing twine). Also, it has loads of room, will do the light offroading we use it for when camping, goldpanning and fishing, it'll tow the race car or 911, and the roof is lower than the other options so it fits under the garage door.

Russ Posted 7July, 2013 Report Share Posted 7July, 2013 have you tried the cruise control yet? I remember driving a few of these up the ranges and they like accelerating hard uphill lol good buy though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamWolf Posted 7July, 2013 Report Share Posted 7July, 2013 Yeah cruise control was programmed by a drunk guy with a VB box for a hat, but it works well. In fact, everything works well. Climate control, sunroof, cruise control, trip computer etc etc. It's in pretty good nick for the age of the car, and kilometers are reasonable. It's a lot of car for not a lot of money.

Doish13 Posted 7July, 2013 Report Share Posted 7July, 2013 How olds the car? I remember this coming out with the cross over phase of cars when it peaked with liberty, etc. Have they stopped selling them? Was it a flop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamWolf Posted 7July, 2013 Report Share Posted 7July, 2013 Its an '04 and it was a sales flop as they didnt market it very well. They had lots of photos of snow and skis which is interesting to 0.000001% of the aussie population. Having said that I see loads of them around and very few for sale, which is usually a good sign.

Harvs11 Posted 7July, 2013 Author Report Share Posted 7July, 2013 Good choice. These are de rigeur as tow cars for the speed boat guys. (so not many for sale) IMO These cars ride better than the standard wagon which can a be bit of a boat. NB don't go full throttle on full lock... I think the front CV's are on the edge of their design limits. ie. no circle work or thrashing up a muddy winding track. Otherwise these things are as tough as any other Holden. Enjoy your new wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
