Thread: mate needs a 4B for work

DG, some of those little units ie, Daihatsu , Suzuki can be good value.
Of course if his family is more than four then no good, or a Delicia .

Those little units are not any good for my mate. He is a BIG boy lol,and his mrs isnt on the small size either.
Thanks for the suggestion anyway lol.

We had a Mitsiubishi Delica for some years.
Big, cheap, 4WD. Auto common, manual less so.
A couple of companies import parts to support them but basically a Pajero with a Starwagon body.
SWMBO loved the sliding rear door (to get the kids in quick when it was raining), enough room to walk between the front seats and into the back.
8 seater, although the seat by the step folds down and was a bit flimsy, we tended not to use it.

A family member bought a 2006 Pajero 3.8 petrol which was not too expensive and quite capable.

Another vote for a Delicia or Pajero.
As mentioned a petrol Pajero can be picked up at a reasonable dollar. If he is after a four door ute Courier/Bravo are not a bad thing either and can be found pretty cheap.

Yes one of those or an old Prado,or Patrol.

An LC will probably blow the budget.

Hopefully he is good on the spanners as they may/will need some work.

He leaves the spannering to his mechanic...

Once he is down here,I can do most of the spannering,but some things I will leave to my mechanic.

If that's the only real reason he needs a 4x4 why not go for something like a CRV or any of the other smaller AWDs out there? Would probably be better if it's also a family car, I know it sucks but its probably the cheaper/easier option. At least it won't be flogged out as much a 4x4.
Ps I saw a Tdi D1 in tassie for 3k on gumtree today, so he might get lucky.
