Newby - Finally got a Legend35 4x4 DC

Post by Shawn-kzte »

Greetings friends. Really stoked to be part of this awesome group again. I had a standard Kzte DC 4x4 a few years ago and unfortunately sold it against my better judgement. I have being looking just about all over for a really clean, low mileage Kzte for the last 4 years ... without much success as they are really hard to come by (especially down here in windy Port Elizabeth) ... I had almost given up. I have always wanted a Legend35 - but really struggled to find one in 4x4. I was more than prepared to buy another standard Kzte - but this too proved a challenge in the Eastern Cape. I finally found a really, really nice Legend35 - nogal in PE! It does need some work (really minor) - but I am absolutely loving this vehicle!!!

Only 164000kms - with service history.

What do guys think of this beauty?

Thank you Gentleman! I'm Absolutely loving this baby!
I look forward to learning so much from this awesome forum - it is literally unbelieveable how much depth of knowledge and experience there is here. I've spent quite a bit of time surfing through the different categories and sub-categories ... Wow, really amazing information and really well put together. I truly hope that I can positively contribute to the team as well going forth. Happy motoring friends - and best wishes for the week ahead!
:thumbup: Thanks, Shawn

Really neat looking vehicle.
May it give you many happy miles, on and off road :thumbup:

Just maybe you want to read about that LED light in the middle.
I think somewhere on this forum it was discussed the legality of it. Apparently according to the book it's not :crazy:

Lovely KZ, Shawn

I got all 3... KZTE, D4D and the GD6. Must say when I am in the KZ it's just special. Even at over 340 000km.

You will enjoy every moment!
