Background:
On New Year’s Day I was rear-ended and my previous vehicle was written off (2008 Holden Colorado), which quickly prompted me to start looking for a new car. Initially I bought the Colorado with 230,XXX km on it and was hoping to get at least three years of use from it. After 13 months I had put over 40,000km on it myself. I decided to double my budget and get a vehicle with a lot less mileage, so I would be able to set it up and not replace for a lot longer.
That leads us to this. My new 2011 NT Pajero. I had my dad helping me out with the search for a new car and he found this one about 700km from his home. Thankfully he had to fly to the town for work, so he picked it up and drove it to his place for me. That leads to now. I returned home yesterday from driving from Emerald to Adelaide. I travelled around 3100km since Wednesday and have been thoroughly pleased with it so far. It is essentially a blank slate so I can't wait to start getting it set up as my overland vehicle.
