Following on from my Grand Cherokee post ,i am now stumped about what to buy.
It must be large enough to tow a trailer with a cosworth on it ,big enough to get our bull terrier in the back ,and enough toys to keep me entertained .
Only problem is the £1800 budget

any sugestions

petrol montereys drink fuel like mad
toyota hi surfs are prone to heads going and they cost a fortune
volvo t5 are very thirsty.

i would say

bmw 5 series estate
j/k reg 2.5 td shogun or even a petrol one which i think arer better and no worse on fuel.
there are some isuzu troopers 3.1 td knocking about around that money now-very strong vehicle.

Paddy

The 2.8

don't forget that you will need to find out how much you want to toe and then get a vehicle that is capable of towing that weight
so that sort of rules out most of teh estate cars you are listing and only leave the big chunky 4x4's
