[QUOTE="Don Hansford, post: 674048, member: 25308"] For $7k you're not going to get anything flash! 😉 There are a lot of vehicles out there that haven't done anything harder than the school run. Make sure you get something that has been well serviced. At that budget, you're looking at vehicles with probably upwards of 250,000 klms. Not a big issue provided the services have been done. As long as you're aware of your ground clearance, it's amazing the places you can get to in a 2wd car. Check the suspension components thoroughly, they will take most of the pounding over corrugations. Most of the Japanese brands will still be ok at that mileage. Early Land Rover Discovery models are reasonable, but you're really into enthusiast territory there, and almost all the early petrol ones were V8s, and they do like a drink! Hope that helps a bit. Have fun! [/QUOTE]
