Which one ?

I have a budge of £8-£11k should I get a late low mileage D3 or a Early higher mileage D4 ?
What’s everyone thoughts

Thanks

The 2.7 motor does seem to be more durable. It’s well capable of the moon and back and gives 230 bhp on a simple remap.

I’m quite surprised no one’s suggesting the early D4 !! Surely there a step up ????

Neither. Get a RRS TDV8 or Supercharged. None if this gutless engine nonsense. Thumbs Up

The RRS has very limited space imho and the tailgate doesn’t open properly 👍
