If you like quirky, you can't get quirkier than the WG 2.7 CRD. If you chase down an Overland, you get the Variloc differentials which makes them almost unstoppable off road.

You will need to be able to do your own maintenance. Most mechanics won't touch them. There are a few specialists who will. Check your local area before buying. Also, if you can't do your own work it will send you broke. They are prone to small but frequent issues. Sometimes they are hard to diagnose - very hard. Don't buy one if you have a short fuse. You'll end up torching it.

I've owned one for about 2-1/2 years and done over 40000km in it. I love it. It's only got me stuck once, when I shredded a CV on the front driveshaft on Fraser Island. After being towed to the tarmac, I still drove home with the offending shaft in the boot.

They need injectors changed around 180k to 240k. It will set you back around $2.5k for parts and about the same again for labour. An engine rebuild will cost around $10k, so make sure you get one in good condition. They should last 500k if looked after.

Gearbox is good. It's the NAG1. Very solid and well matched to the engine.
