The other two are not that interesting to me. One is a 3.5L diesel but it’s too new and too nice and will go for well more than I want to pay.

The other is a 3.0L diesel, and in addition to being RHD, it’s a complete rust bucket.
Have you ever driven one?

I got to drive an old (not sure 40 or 60-series, but wrangler-sized) toyota fj a couple of years ago. Manual, diesel... What could go wrong? It was one of the worst on-road experiences ever, I'd take a rental Dacia over that one.

Spend some time with one before bidding. Would you put your kids in it? If not, then it competes with all other toys that you can't put your kids in (boxster, road bike, ??).
