I paid 5300 for my 4x4 just over a year ago (thanks Racey!)
and its been great so far! nothing has broken to take it off the road
(now its having an engine re-build,, but looking at it, everything inside was fine

)
just check EVERYthing like you would if you were buying any
old car of this type mate...
check shes straight and not hiding anything!
i'd personally go for 4x4.... but then i dont like my chances with a RWD car! i think it would catch me out!
