I fixed that for you.

Oh dear

Are they that bad???

Mazda has been brillant pickup by the way, think the ranger is just too big and bulky!

It's cheap and not so cheerful. I would stay away. I am sure the Chinese will get their act together when it comes to vehicles, just like the Japanese and the Koreans did, but that hasn't happened yet. I would rather look at something second hand from one of the established brands, if budget is a concern. If you're wanting new, then Isuzu and Mitsubishi seem to have pretty good deals at the moment.

Saw a nice defender by Twisted yesterday. £70 odd grand + vat. Sounded a treat

Sounds a waste of money.

And key is still on wrong side and elbow hits window. Twisted is a licence to print money! They don't even out the sdv6 in them!

Doesn't matter if it's any good are not main problem is that after 2-3years it will have no part x value and will cost you a fortune to replace.

They must be ok ish, there seems to plenty of warranty on them and decent finish level on the top of the range one. I would have thought if you were buying one to keep for 5 or more years they seem ok.

I have one and like it. Only downside I can see is mentioned above, which is resell value but I plan to keep it for 10+ yrs so not worried about it.

They have been gone for months over here , current model has been for sale since early April.

Better to get a 70 Series Landcruiser, with the loose change you can take your Mrs around the world on holiday too

Garages are selling Brand new Navara visias for around £13,000 now, guess thats the best bargain to have

I have a SE for 3 years. Happy to keep it for another 3. No issues so far.
Can't see why I wouldn't change it for another one. It's no Ranger but then it's not a Rangers price either.

If you are going to pay extra for someone to bugger about with a land rover there really is nobody else to call: http://www.bowlermotorsport.com/

Really? That almost sounds too good to be true.
If that is the case, who in their right mind would buy a Great Wall?

However, there is a downside to them selling new that cheap, and that is what it does to used value of those bought not so long ago for £18k or more.
This doesn't alter the fact that at £13,000 for a new Navara [old model] they are an absolute bargain.

Where do they sell them for this?

EDIT
Just found this dealer doing the deal

All I can say is WOW! Bargain! That's the same price as a basic Mule type thing.

Local garage sold Great Wall for a while, might still do. I know of four people who bought them. Three of them have an Isuzu now.
