Guys,
I've been dipping into these forums for a few days now, ever since stumbling across a VehiCROSS at a local dealers. It's a JAP 3.2 import and seems to be in good condition. I took it out for a test drive today. The dealer was cool enough to let me take as long as I wanted so I was out for 2 hours or so... fell in love with it, what an awesome machine. I feel I want to buy it but am very nervous as the local ISUZU dealer told me that I would not get any support for the car in the UK. I'm therefore asking all you guys and gals in the hope that there's a UK contigent on this site that knows a little about the realities of owning a VX in the UK. Is it a complete nightmare for parts etc. or is it just a case of knowing the right phone numbers and websites?
Also, I see the mpg rating in this site's FAQ is between 15-18 yet in a 4x4 guide I got recently it talks about it being 28.2 average? Is this really the difference between the 3.5 and the 3.2 engines? Does anyone know what to expect from a 3.2?
Any advice to stop me going for another Pajero and playing it safe, would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Jay
