My younger brother owns a 3.0lt V6 Pajero and he loves it, I don't the
exact year but its getting on a bit now and could be about the same age
as the one you looked at.
As with any older vehicle its condition and the way its been serviced
means everything, get it checked out by someone who knows what they are
looking at but generally they are a good vehicle.
