You should get a tidy TDV8 for that sort of money ... African Bush Junkie ... in London!

But the question is, is it better to have a low mileage "nicer" TD6 or a higher mileage TDV8, and which will be the most reliable and cost effective to run?? |

I debated the same question in November and had a similar budget. Ended up going with an 07 TDV8 with 58k miles for £25k from a LR Dealer. I suppose that I could have gotten cheaper if I was prepared to go with an independent or private sale but I wanted the 'LR Approved' stamp.

Depends on you really...do you like to just potter about at 50mph? Or do you like a bit of performance and possibly need to tow a trailer? If it's the former then the TD6 will be perfect if it's the latter and you can pick up a cared for TDV8 with motorway miles then that's the one to go for....Everyone has their own opinion but as your asking mine is TDV8 everytime |

I have a TD6, would prefer a TDV8. For me the only argument is an old TD6 or stump up the cash and get a TDV8. As soon as they get closer in price you really have to go for the V8 - it's a much better car. |

Some really great feedback, I suppose my heart wants to go for the TDV8, but wasn't sure if it had much higher running costs, accepting that the MPG is comparable.

If you have the cash to burn I would get a 05/55 or early 06 TD6 if you dont need performance and the 10k you save can go in the bank.

I just sold my 08 TDV8 for £21k. It did have 87k miles on it but it was spotless and very reliable. £21k ought to easily get you a slightly lower mileage 56/07 TDV8. I've sat in a TD6 and I have to say the TDV8 is a nice update inside. For me trying to spend £20k on a TD6 makes no sense. Either lower the budget a fair bit or get a TDV8 IMHO
