Buy on condition and service history rather than year — the Safari kept its live axles and mechanical simplicity throughout its run specifically because that is what desert and off-road buyers wanted, so a well-kept older truck is not a compromise against a newer one.
The Jeep Wrangler is similar money and a more road-focused alternative. The Toyota Sequoia costs less and adds a more comfortable highway ride. Within the Nissan range, the Nissan Patrol costs more and swaps the Safari's live-axle simplicity for independent suspension and more comfort.
Better than you would expect for a truck this age and this heavily used off-road — around 15% of the Safaris we inspect show evidence of prior body or panel repair, against the roughly 42% we would expect for body-on-frame SUVs of the same age and use in the Kingdom. That is a lower rate of damage history than the class typically carries, which still makes the inspection report worth reading on the specific truck you want.
Book an inspection before you buy, since how a Safari was used matters as much as how it looks.
