What are they like

Post by Scottyboy436 »

I'm debating buying a 716 pinz , I have wanted one for years but just never had the guts to buy one. What are they like for reliability? I can handle small niggles , just nothing catastrophic. It will be my only vehicle I won't be driving it every day

I don't own one but would seriously consider a 2'nd gen Pinz if it could be titled in my local :((

I'd be less concerned about reliability and more concerned about parts availability and who's
going to service the rig for any major repairs such as drive line components. I believe both the
automatic and certainly the manual transmission are ZF. Parts and shops that can repair these
Tranie's are around, esp. in the EU/UK.

I presume the drive line etc are pretty solid , I also live only around 100 miles from pinzgauer technik in the UK so any major issues I should be able to get it sorted there
