Personally I really want the Ford diesel, specifically the 4.4 V8 because it comes with the 8HP transmission which is the bees knees and, well, diesel V8!
But late L322s are very expensive here compared to the UK. Usually higher mileage too. I want a depreciated range rover to be at least cheap to buy because I already know it's not gonna be cheap to maintain. Luckily I do already do my own repairs on all kinds of cars that I've owned, almost none of them sensible and simple.
It would in fact be cheaper to get an L405 over a nice L322 but I trust those even less. Aluminium body might be nice here in road salt country, but the electronics seem like too much work.
Perhaps I'll instead one day take up the project of 8HP swapping an early diesel 322. I know the M57 well enough and they're cheap. It's just that I hate the transmission those engines are attached to in these cars lol
