Yeah. Cool truck. BUT, as has been thoroughly sliced and diced by Max, the straight 6 is overly complex in a brand known for its LACK of reliability, and the V8 is preposterously expensive. Fuck everything is expensive. A Brostang with a Tremec transmission is 62 thousand dollars. What a time to be alive.MexicanYarisTK wrote: ↑Sat Jan 06, 2024 9:06 pmOooo a defender.Desertbreh wrote: ↑Sat Jan 06, 2024 3:55 pm My dream 2024 landscape involves not spending a dime on home improvement or cars.

The Defender is a looker though. I may be able to put it off until 2025. See above.

Last i check a mustang gt is a blue collar sports car, $62k grand is not a reasonable blue collar price to me.Desertbreh wrote: ↑Sat Jan 06, 2024 9:16 pmYeah. Cool truck.

The 6 is "ok" technically a straight 6 is basically the most reliable engine type one can buy... but unfortunately that one comes with an electric supercharger and a turbocharger... so far they are holding up...Desertbreh wrote: ↑Sat Jan 06, 2024 9:16 pmYeah.

The cost of operating a cheap defender (75k msrp) is $1800 a month for the first 4 years... and that to me is just insane. They are starting to show up used for reasonable pricing... for ex you can get a V8 for about 20k less than new... which is

nearly 6 figures still...
Also I hear that the V8 is not that much noticeably faster to drive than the i6.. however it makes all the noises so... yea.. that's worth something.
