| RE: Ok... Getting closer to purchase... Give me your thoughts.. Thanks for all of the responses to my email. The Brabus and the badging was the first thing that had jumped out at me, as well as the fact that I was pretty sure I had seen it floating around for sale in the not so distant past... I have more confidence in the Renntech G, however I have to admit the poterntial for not being able to find a competent mechanic able to work on a "specialty" vehicle out here does not seem too appealing to me (I live on the coast of NC)... As for the horsepower... Not a critical factor. I am migrating from a 94 Landcruiser, so walking/ running would be a vast improvement in acceleration for me. Right now I am 95% sold on buying a pre 2002 model for both cost and simplicity of the systems. I will be adding aftermarket navigation/ entertainment myself, so I can avoid the entire electronics debacle that seems to be pretty common. My main reason for the G is my perception of them as extremely durable vehicles.. and I plan on holding onto whatever model I get indefinitely (unless I find a new g55 that someone wants to give way!) |
