Reliable, cheap 4WD for less than 3k
Discussion
I'm kicking around ideas for buying a 4WD as we're possibly moving further out to the sticks.
My immediate thought is a 4.0 XJ Cherokee. I had one in when I lived abroad. Didn't care about MPG as the petrol was cheap. However, my wife reminds me it always needing something doing to it. I did own it for 20 years though, and overall it was bloody brilliant. Wish I'd have brought it back to the UK, but it was too expensive to ship it / drive back.
Alternatives here? Not sure. Would like to lug stuff around, and we have kids, so I'd like something reasonably sized, but not massive.
For that budget, I'm ruling out Land Cruisers. I'm also ruling out Land Rovers, based on mates abroad having them and they were always breaking down.
At the end of the day, I want something cheap to buy and run.
Thoughts?
Cheers,
Nick
