I had the 2006 3 lyric and it went fine for the 60,000 kms I had it. Only issue with the 3 ltr was the turbos let go around 175,000 kms. We had four at work and three blew turbos at the same kms. Mine was too new buy oil was leaking from the turbo when I sold it. Otherwise the rest of the truck was bullet proof.
Seeing as you are looking at the 2.5 then you prob can't go wrong. Just watch the seats and ride quality. Got on my nerves all the time.
I now pilot an 2009 patrol auto, considering how old it's origins are, it's a limo in comparison and a weapon off road. Haven't looked back but miss my ute.
