two buys whats best engine??

Postby ClickIt » Sat Sep 24, 2016 12:42 pm

Hi Guys I am looking at two Transits to possibly buy one of them.

1st is a 2007 lwb bus with a 2.4TD with 158k on the clock

The other is a 2012 lwb bus with the 2.2TD and 87k on the clock

I understand the less k's is normally better BUT...what is the better engine?
The 2.2 or the 2.4

Some people have mentioned the 2.2 was / is a better stronger engine than the 2.4 and holds up better with less trouble??

Its not the $$'s I am considering 18K and 27k it's more trying to get the best buy over time.

Would appreciate experienced opinion.

Well have just purchased a/the 2012 transit bus with 80k on the clock.
Nice condition clean as a whistle, prev owner was the air force so its had all its service work done.

I hope this time around I don't get any major problems like I have done with my 5 week's in previous purchase!
Fingers crossed :-)
