very very nice rig but i don't see him selling that very quickly even with the novelty factor. the 1hz is not that great a motor and the 13bt is not that bad a motor to justify that big a price gap. A bj73 with cable lockers is $10k and the cable lockers are more reliable. If you need more oomph a hdj81 with a 1hdt and e-lockers at $15k is a better deal, has more power, is at least as good offroad, and a way better tow rig.
whoah, diesel Cruiser nomenclature stream of conciousness overload.

I think Katie's rather curt "No bloody way you're spending $27 thousand for a 1992" indicates you're probably right.
especially considering that would be near the price tag for a Tiguan, which comes with a warranty and that VW is loaning money for like 1.9% right now. (though the special interest rates and rebates don't generally apply to diesels, which they typically have NO problem whatsoever selling. In fact, I'll bet you there are waiting lists for new Jetta TDIs)

A diesel option in this would be very, very interesting. It's 4Motion, too.

Absolutely. It's got a new battery and air filter. Newly-installed alternator belt. Fresh oil and filter. And, though I meet the seller tomorrow late afternoon/early evening, I will stay in KC overnight so that I can have the new Connie TKC80 installed and have the brakes bled. I'm hoping that doesn't take too long because the bike and I have miles to eat up . . .
Well, I won't be carrying in Beloit by any means, unless I change careers.
When I carry, it will be on a trip that takes me outside of Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, or Iowa. IN the last five years, that would be ONCE I was in a state where my permit would be valid.
Probably the next time I carry, it will be on a trip to see you in the spring for an ADV ride or something.

Reminds me a bit of the Citröen C5 which is unobtainium in North America.

That car and the ford mondeo are two cars that I cannot imagine why they aren't in the USofA. Ford could sell huge numbers of the Mondeo if they'd just sell it here

Europeans get all the cool shit, including diesel Land Cruisers.

nommers, for sure. I'll probably stay somewhere near to the BMW facility that will be doing the work on Wednesday morning.
Have the BMW place inspect your shaft.
