your money would buy a toyota 4 cilinder petrol but not the age braket , the age bracket you aim for is low quality cars for the money you want to pay 10 to 20 grand buys good late 90s to early 2000 4x4s .

Yep, noticed the Toyotas, Mazdas were a lot dearer then say the Hyundais in the same age bracket.

yes just be carfull suzuki makes no diesel so the diesel are transplants and older ones are mazda-diesel= absolut pooo. later ones where peugeot and then renault diesel powered. diesel maintainace apply to all commonrail add a lubricate to fuel to prevent longtherm injection problems.

bobwyn, yep the Suzuki is another one we keep coming back too, the terrain down here is pretty rough but the old boy just wants to get a bit further up the tracks so he doesn't have too carry stuff too far.
