I've read and read and read. I've looked and looked and looked. I'm at the point of serious over saturation. So I'm here for some real experience and some real world knowledge of these cars.
Situation: young family of 5 about to be 6. We have a 1.6t caravan. We live in the outback, ie mt isa. With the situation being that its going to some very long kms, some with a big van on it, but mostly short around town trips with 6 ppl in it. We have decided the 120 series is the car for us. (I really started to like the pajero 3.2 diesel but well you know and also the mrs didn't like the 3rd seats that can't be split.)
So I put it to the pp community HELP!!! Cannot decided between 2003-2008, diesel kz or kd or petrol, gx with option pack through to grande??? Money is definitely a factor, towing long trips is definitely a factor, 3rd row comfort is definitely a factor ( mt isa summer kids will need good ac in back). Auto or manual, i think auto is what we want but id it needs to manual to get the better car its fine. Budget is as close to $20k as possible. Travel to pick up the car is expected so location not really a factor. It's going to be a long term investment ie upto 10yr car so if the right car is an extra $5k and its really worth it I will borrow from my rather wealthy brother.
As I hope you can see its a real dilemma as there is do much choice and so many factors. With only ever having owned a kdj with injector problem I'm worried about that again. I wish I had been able to get my family friends car but it was sold on to afford the new one for them. So here I am. Hat in hand hoping for some real constructive advice here. If u know one that is not online or even one that is feel free to post it and outthe case forward. Please don't think I haven't looked or even made offers. Carsales, gumtree, car yards, drive ect ect I've looked and even set up alerts.
PLEASE HELP ME?!?!?
