hi there.

look for the usual; good service history, low owners, general all round condition, check that everything works, cheap tyres fitted meaning previous owners maintained on the cheap, corrosion around tailgate handle...etc etc.

buy the best you can stretch your budget to, and it should pay you back in spades; buy a cheap one and it could seriously mess with your financial position!

we have had ours for 5 or 6 years; has been a great car, and in the snow at the beggining of the year just awesome; went places x5's etc couldnt even look at, and tha was without using the 'low range' button.

also beware of people posting whom have never had one but shall point out that they are terrible and to avoid at all costs as they once 'read it somewhere' or 'they knew someone that maybe had one'...!!

i have kept hold of ours as it has been so mega reliable and still in very good condition; what 4x4 could possibly be as good, or as quick (with 350bhp) for the money?!
