Me and Gazbag have been to look at a pajero today,J reg,60000 miles,£3995.Would like some advice

A. Is this a good price

B. Are they good tow cars

C. Are they reliable

D. What are the like on fuel.

 I really like it even though It's a bit big,and automatic,I think I will get used to it but would like to know what you lot think.Thanks!

We have the 2.8 exceed and love it for towing ,forget the van is there some times it pulls with no bother at all,we bought ours from windmill garage in derby they have a web site ours is auto and not bad on diesel we get around 26mtg never had any problems with ours starts first time every time

My Shogun is an N reg swb 2.5 and tows well. Heavy on diesel, about 27 solo & 23 towing. Only had it 6 months so not sure about reliability although it starts easily. It did pop a shock absorber in August so we had to be towed home but the garage did it under the 3 month warranty.

I think the price is about right.

If you have a big heavy caravan the Shogun/Pajero is about the best on the market.

Mine is a 1998 2.8 swb. No problems at all throughout its life and I have 83,000 miles on the clock with plenty of life left in it. 

Wish I could say the same about the caravan which is British!!

We've got the 2.8TD Exceed lwb. Brilliant towcar. Between 20-26 mpg towing, depending on how much of a hurry I'm in!!

The swb is in my opinion a bit skittish and not as stable. Price is about right I'd say.

Is that miles or km, bearing in mind they're obliged to change the speedometer to comply with UK laws but not the milometer. If it's km that's about 40,000miles which makes it even better, and if it's straight from Japan they often are VERY low mileage due to their restictions on driving and the fact it's only a small country.

Mmmm Shaun I have heard that story before

and I can remember seeing a photo this week of a shiney Paj pulling a Lawn Rover out of a little puddle !

p.s How is the drafty Disco Duck ?
