Hi guys,
As some of you may be aware my father law has been ill for some months now and disposing of his things, cleaning up his place and getting his unit ready for sale whilst Jodie and I cared for him (as he is no longer able to do by himself) has taken up much of our spare time.
It's been obvious for a while that my lifted, slider equipped D22 wasn't a suitable vehicle for carrying him around (not enough rear seat room, too high etc) and Jodie's hatch was too small and that we needed a new larger more family friendly vehicle.
I looked closely at the D40 range but the local Nissan dealer closed down and the nearest Nissan dealer couldn't match the deal Mitsubishi were doing for their end of financial year sale.
Triton 4x4 turbo diesel dual cab $29,990 drive away for GLX dual cab including alloy wheels, side steps, rear step, stability control, curtain air bags, leather steering wheel and cruise control (most of that used to be options).
I paid more than that for my D22 and a new D40 was going to cost me $34,999 with less options. With the money I saved I bought a canopy which we'll need (this is going to be more family wagon than off road tourer).
My D22 sold private sale yesterday to a young guy from the local area, I'm sure he'll be very happy with it.
I won't be around as much but I'll drop in now and then to see what's happening. Best of luck with the 2013 muster (and I wish I was going!).
