Or if you enjoy punching the underside of the dash with your knuckles ever time you put the handbrake down.

That's quite a specific requirement but you gotta go with what works.

I have not looked back since getting a Audi Q7. Can tow car, trailer and several hundred kilos of tools, fuel and 3 mates like most cars going to shopping centre.

A good 10yo one is now probably under $35k.

Excellent info, much appreciated. 

It's a turbo diesel right? 

So when are you expecting turbo/injection pump to shit the bed? 

Trans still happy? 

Updated above post

 

still going it’s due for new oil at 330k will report back then

So the big ticket items are still to come. 

I assume it's got direct injection as well so 6 very expensive injectors + injector pump is a good few K (same as any modern SUV now), turbo will be whenever it goes. 

 

 

 

 

200 if you want to go off-road 

q7 tows as well but much nicer when not towing

which is 90% of lyf

landcrusher always wins on resale cause Toyota fan boys but all the 50k landcrushers r 250k on the clock so just buy new as money wise it’s a similar depreciation

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
