I think a lot of it has to do with poor economic times :( :think:

I sold my Kzte and bought the SFA only because I go offroad alot. With OME it is as comfortable as my Kzte was and with the 7m I put in no Kz comes close to catching me now, even with an intercooler. Other than the lack of space in the back seat I would not change it for anything. :D: :D: :D:

Creature comforts are anything that makes life more comfortable and are not environ specific ... an extra pillow while out camping / a stool to sit on while out fishing instead of plonking your but down on the ground / air-con or power steering in your vehicle, just to give a few examples.

Home comforts on the other hand are comforts that you enjoy only at home (hopefully). :twisted: :D: :wink:

Tx Chris, but actually looking for a KZ...

Anyway, back to topic, I see a lot of 4x2 KZ's around and the prices seem to drop; saw a 2005 legend 35 for R139k the other day. Not sure if it is dodgy or just someone who priced it right :think:

What is the going rate for an IFS 2.7 4x4 204/2005-ish following Mozam's ad in 2nd hand corner? Looking at a 2005 legend 35 2.7 4x4, but IMHO R220k is way too much. :thumbdown: Only extras are a long range tank & OME shocks. Kilo's are low...less than 100 000. :thumbup:

Had a 2.2 SFA 4y once but it got stolen. Awesome vehicle! Runnning a 2.7i IFS presently which is just as awesome but with loads more "creature comforts" Both vehicles are up there with the best but personally it's the IFS (petrol) 2.7i that does it for me. Its like Cruisers, they all good, but it's the 80 series (in this case the Diesel) that has the edge.
