Sangyong pick up truck

[daveatdave]

SsangYong dealers seem to come and go quite often a lad I know is getting rid (car) because the spares are too costly 

I used to have a musso about 15 years ago they have a good owners club on line

Bad roads are a great deterrent from incoming foreign settlement.

Tell that to the Africans with Chinese highways through their savannahs etc.

Yeah, but Devon doesn’t have any unobtanium....

You won’t buy one.

You just don’t sound convinced.

I think you’d have to have smoked a lot of crack to spend £25k on a Ssangyong when a pre registered (essentially brand new) Navara Tekna is advertised at less than £21k. Both will depreciate, but you will definitely find someone to buy your Navara when you want to swap it for something else - I don’t think there will be a massive queue of punters looking for second hand Mussos unfortunately.

Haha you’ll never get big j in a Nissan

Bad past experience of a previous model or not, I think it would be daft to rule out the current Navara (ime the best current pickup on the market) - particularly if giving real consideration to a ssangyong!!! That would be cutting your nose off to spite your face!

Equivilent Ranger was £32k

Are they? From what I can tell the Musso is only 2.2L where’s for £32k you can have the 3.2L engine? 

Personally I think buying new trucks is a good way to lose money- but can see appeal with warranty and not buying someone else’s previous problems.

 

3.2L in the ranger that is.

3500kg is only with the auto, also read a review somewhere and it wasn't rated that great a tow truck but was very juicy towing, iirc it averaged 18mpg and that was with only 2800kg behind it.
It isn't as fugly as the previous version but it isn't far short.
