4x4/SUV Buying advice

snowoman, Sep 17, 2:05am
Hi all, my parents are interested in upgrading. They currently have a 1998 Landcruiser 4.7 V8 which they've put about 250,000 ks on. I'm just interested to know what your recommendations would be. They only tend to use when they have big loads of gear to move, so something a similar size could be useful. They are interested in Touaregs though, as they own a late model Passat tdi and love it. Any other ideas though!

Keep it and drive it till it dies!

They had planned to keep it til it died, but then they'd have it forever! I guess they just want a change, something a bit nicer. I'm sure they would love a 200 series cruiser but its not really in the budget.
