Landrover 110 and for that matter any defender is out, if you intend to go long distance the ride comfort (or NOTT) is just too important an issue.
the Range rover classics are ok, except i cant get one on diesel, for something that does about 7km to the liter, ill be spending more on the fuel than i would on the car.
Reason i am soo confused on the land cruiser vs the patrol are:
1: Cause jeremy clarkson says so (Landcruiser).
2: Cause some biker chaps chose a patrol on their trans continental trip called long way down (from UK to cape town) as their burdens of beast.
Im not soo concerned about resale value though, too bad about that but from experience the good cars dont have a good resale value (Merc BMW... Subaru ...e.t.c ).

Landcruiser. Or Landrover. Or RangeRover Classic (pre-1980 to mid 80's)
Even a 1970's LandRover 88 will survive just about anywhere.
(I have no experience with Patrols, so can't say about them)
Happy new year skunks...
generally speaking, how do these models compare in terms of service costs, endurance, parts and resale value in the Kenyan market. How hard is it to get on your feet if you say, burn the clutch in Merti, or burst your gasket in doldol...
