Here's some help: use a thread title that might actually attract the attention of the people who'd specifically know. Every single thread in here could be titled HELP PLEASE!.

i dont recommend to buy a 4x4 for 2 purpose as you want the cost to run a 4x4 van every day is higher then a normal van so 2 cars maybe a better option for you depending.

Why do you want a four wheel drive and any CHEAP four wheel drive is unlikely to be good.

Hello 1minkey - as per what others have said, unless you need 4x4 (towing, snow/mud work) don't focus your attention there. Increased running costs is just one factor. You would be surprised just how awful they are to drive compared to a car. Dependent on your bedget, there are a good selection of "people movers" around now that aren't as naff as previously thought and won't make you feel like the Brady Bunch.

A 4 x 4 will be neither economical or safe.

I am fairly sure, that the only Nissan Pathfinders that have a 7 seat option, are the big late model ones.

Around year 2005 onwards.

And they certainly are not cheap LOL.
