Both of the cars are listed for roughly the same amount of money, have done the same amount of kilometres and were both produced in 2005. Which is the best buy?
The first candidate is a base US-spec Porsche Cayenne V6. It has 250 hp and will do 0-100 km/h in just under 10 seconds with an automatic gearbox. It looks like it is in good condition, but who knows what problems might lurk underneath the polished exterior. It is all yours for $25500.

The second choice is slightly different. It’s a long version Toyota HiAce with 8 seats, 4WD and a 2.5 diesel producing 102 hp. You’ll need over 20 seconds before reaching 100 km/h. Reliability will never be an issue though, as the HiAce can best be described as a HiLux in van form. All yours for $23500.

The cayenne. Even I can’t bear to drive something as slow as that Toyota and that’s saying something.

The funny thing is that it’s not the least powerful engine option on the HiAce. I’ve driven a 75 hp diesel regularly the last year, and it gives planning ahead a whole new meaning.

The Cayenne, because it’s the more involving drive here.

Craziness, reminds me of the old Nissan Serena. This things took like half a minute to hit 60.

By far the cheaper option - if you chose the equivalent that is available in Norway

More like the better kind of involvement. You very much have to involve yourself when driving a low-hp diesel HiAce

Opel isn’t AWD though is it?
Holden is.
as for reliability, V8 is best motor.

I know what to do.
Buy Holden - ship to Norway.
Transfer Opel exterior and interior to the Holden including LHD conversion
Don’t tell anyone.

Norwegian taxes/HiAce reliability status right there.

I can’t believe you have to pay so much. I want to pick neither but if you had a gun pointed to my head... van. A DD must be reliable and cheap to maintain or it is useless

Now there’s some good tax policy. Or not.
I’d choose the van that’s not pretending to be something else.

It is crazy that they put so much taxes on the HiAce just because it has 4wd, more than 6 seats and not a separate cargo area. The combination is so rare that they retain their value exceptionally well. The Cayenne has depreciated a lot more, and the taxes make more sense in that case.

They are plenty - and would be my choice.

I’d definitely take the hiAce but I thought the prices were closer to 10-12k usd.
Taxes indeed.

I’d tax the Cayenne just for how it looks - the owner will be paying his own tax keeping it on the road. I wonder who benefits from that tax policy.
