You've got absolutely no warranty on the accessory fitment, or the DPF, the latter is a four figure filter that starts with a 3, 4, 5 or a 6 and on the Hilux it's known to be an issue - then you're in the hands of our ****weak consumer law, where you're the second owner attempting to fight a private company who has no buy-in from you who are going to pull out all the stops to prevent you getting a four figure filter out of them.
Personally I think you're better off with a new povvo spec Ranger and then pay the extra for the accessories you want, optioned up by the dealership, that way you've got the manufacturer warranty of a new vehicle rather than rolling the dice with circa $60,000.
It's one thing rolling the dice on $5000-$10,000 ****boxes, it's another scoring a $60,000 ****box.
If you're worried about missing out on the
ICC, the povvo spec Ranger has a massive
ICC, go test drive one before you make a decision. We're also talking about the newest Thailand Special on the block here so it won't be as bad as what you think even though she's povvo spec.
