5k work horse required......help!

[Ecksloon]

I have around 5K

I want a large 4x4 for skip runs, general work horse duties, kids quad bikes to throw in the back, winter beater ETC ETC.

Options so far:
Range rover (P38 or newer)
Disco 2/3
Jeep GC ( Maybe too small inside??)
Shogun

Another other considerations and advice on the above?
Needs to be fairly reliable.
Not bothered about fuel economy.

Cheers

How u doing said:

Does it have to be 4x4?

2wd gets more space, less complicated, newer, lower mileage.

What would you recommend?

Sorry gents,

I should have been more specific.

I already own a ford galaxy (2013) 2.0l eco boost - Thats the family car. It is in very good condition and that how I plan on keeping it.

I live in the countryside, so a 4x4 would be ideal for winter. We get lots of flooding and general stty weather in the winter. Also the local skips around me dont allow vans without a commercial pass. So hence the 4x4.

Estates are a good call, Wonder if I can get a Skoda superb 4x4 for that budget? I am not sure I could fit a quad bike in it though?

Thanks
Matt

Thanks all,

I am leaning towards a Nissan Pathfinder.

I think it meets most of my requirements - 4x4, can do skip runs with ease, can fit a quad in the back! Will be decent enough in bad weather. And I can get a decent one for the budget.

Anyone with any experience with these?

Also, in regards to the skip runs, I am doing a house renovation, so for the next year at least, Ill be doing regular skip runs.

Well all a little update.

I went a viewed a high milage Volvo XC90, lovely old thing, but milage put me off (169,000) and up for £4900.

I also went a viewed a Subaru forester, but that was too small.

Same guy had a old BMW x5 for sale. 2003, 3.0i petrol, 12 months MOT and recent service.

Drove it, felt good, sounded good (Straight 6)..... so I purchased a x5.

So far, after tow days of ownership.... the drivers window fell off its runners, and now the traction control, ABS light have came on........... typical.
