New Land Cruiser

A 5K Discovery will eventually use ALL of your free time to keep on or off road. If you don't think so, you're delusional.

All of it... na. Some of it, sure. But I enjoy working on it and it is a toy after all. The insurance and taxes on an 80k vehicle will buy a Discovery in a couple years. My point is most of these "off road" suv's never see dirt. For the few who actually use them, great. A 60-80k vehicle designed for both will be compromised at both. Id rather save the money have have two vehicles that prioritizes each goal.

My play on words wasn't referring to maintenance costs, but the overall cost. You commented a while ago on being broke for the foreseeable future, which is understandable considering the cost. The point is that it's a compromise either way. A person either invests their dollars or their time.

When you get older, time becomes more valuable.

Yep. Keep in mind that Toyota has been building 4 cyclinder hybrids for years that go 8-10 years and 150k without a battery change. Plenty of examples of them going longer.

Compared to a well kept NAS, IME, that has gone 40+ years and many hundreds of thousands of miles.

Exactly why a 5k LR3 is the move

Exactly why a 5k LR3 is the move

With all respect, an LR3 will never equal a D1 off road (all situations considered).

You're welcome.

It's a definite LOL moment when you realize people are paying 6 figures for a little 4-cylinder Jap truck
