D4D all the way but at 10g I don't see it happening.
There are many older models getting around with v6's in them that are in that price range.
farting is alot like jxxxxxg off. both provide instant gratification, but neither is a long term solution to the actual problem......................

For 10g's mate, a 2.8 or 3L would be your only options

What do you tow?

n/a diesels are very slow, maybe look at an aftermarket turboe'd 2.8

I have a 1998 2.7, definitely much faster than a n/a diesel, would tow a small to medium trailer ok

I seriously doubt you could pick up a remotely decent 3td for under 15 grand

The 3.4v6 is smooth and has decent power but is quite thirsty, 16l/100+ and thats not even towing. Is also pretty spensive

How much would you say you are towing? The 2.7 efi were/still are a pretty powerful unit and you may be able to get them relatively cheap. Alternative if you wanted a 2.8 would be looking for one with an aftermarket turbo or put one on yourself
