White colored 1Pz70
Pros: Engine, transmission and differentials are factory sealed and are in great shape.
The engine has only travelled 150,000 Kms.
Cons: 7 yrs back the vehicle was involved in an accident. It was hit on the passenger side. The front left mudguard and bonnet was damaged. The front left pillar, between the driver and front passenger door may have also been involved. The vehicle was repaired and the damage does not seem extensive. The chassis seems to have been undamaged.

Yellow colored 1Pz70
Pros: The body and chassis are in great shape. It also has a winch and a factory fitted carrier.
Cons: Due to mishandling and neglect both engine and transmission had to be rebuilt at 120,000Kms. Subsequently, it has travelled 50,000 kms.
Which vehicle should I opt for? Some mechanics advise me to buy the white vehicle as the mechanicals in it are in great shape. They also say that rebuilt engines and transmissions as in the yellow vehicle are not as good as those that are original. However, others advise me to go for the yellow vehicle because it was not involved in an accident.

Please advise!

If the doors closed nicely and you can't see the damage on the white one that is the one I would go for. The yellow one would scare me away...


I edited your post as the font/colour thing was completely unreadable. In my opinion the standard font and colour the forum offers is the easiest to read.

Cheers and welcome to mud.
