Been looking at SUV's and I'm trying to take into account how difficult it's going to be to maintain a vehicle over the coming years with regard to sourcing parts etc
Does anyone know if it would be pretty straightforward to maintain a 2001 Mitsubishi Shogun Sport automatic or would it be tough to find parts for it in future? Would it be easier to get say, a 2004 Volkswagen Touareg automatic or is all pretty much the same?
Mate, SUVs are for show offs and angry women. Get your self a van. They're cheaper, more reliable and you can get up to all sorts in the back without anyone knowing.
I'm a show off though.Quote:

I've just looked at car leasing, why does anyone do that? You have to pay a wedge up front, a wedge every month, doesn't even include the insurance then at the end of it you don't even have a car to show for it?
Leasing options is one websiteQuote:

Or you could go straight to the dealer.
Great if you want a new car every 3 years, otherwise don't botherQuote:

With a limited budget , yeah maybe the tourag , make sure it's got lots of history though , very expensive to repair .
Isuzu trooper is a great 4x4 but important to buy the one with the bullet proof engine .
Merc Ml 207 , comfort , reasonable fuel consumption BUT expensive to repair if they do give a problem . ( We use one of these to tow our trailer, been quite good , nagging problem with the gearbox )
Is there any mode of transport that J the J isn't an expert in?
Cheers Jimmy, I was hoping you'd chip in.Quote:

Are all 4x4's expensive to repair basically?
