ozz Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 I doubt you'll find a newer/more featured car than a frontera for your budget. I'm on my second - my current is the limited edition 210BHP 3.5v6. If you don't drive it too hard it will get MPG close to what the diesel version does (which is sh1te). I've had mine 3 years now, use it to chain harrow, tow horse boxes, traverse muddy fields, hay trailors, - never let me down. Bang for buck can't be beaten.

ivan Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 For real unreliability you need a old LR 110. (misquoted) You can fix 'em with a hammer and screwdriver though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl_S Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I'd go for a forester, but then I would say that as I am looking to get rid of mine. But it sounds like you want something bigger/ higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooquicktostop Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Old thread, i had a change of plans and sold the Monaro, brought a supra and a new van for work, im looking at big cruisers now aswell, want something like a 7 series bmw for kicking about in. I had a 745i for a while, a great car with loads of space and comfort, they cost peanuts as well, I sold a 97 P fully loaded for just over 3K last year, very difficult to sell as they do like to drink fuel I wanted a 750iL but they are a bit harder to find/fund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted August 8, 2008 Author Share Posted August 8, 2008 Yea thats the sort of thing ill buy, ive had a couple of old 7 series years ago and loved em, will be handy when the nipper is here aswell (Leigh had another scan a couple of weeks ago and its a girl:)) as her 206 gti and my supra will be next to useless for family outings.

A girl, nice one Well they swallow up all kinds of baby stuff, buggy, bags etc as the boot is huge, very safe feel to them as well, I think it was one of the best cars I have owned, and it NEVER went wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garethr Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Invalid phone number, i reckon scam, damn nice car though:)You may be right. I thought I recognized the background. Either that, or somebody just paid way over the odds (£8100 instead of £5500) on eBay. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2003-53-BMW-745-I-MASSIVE-SPEC-TV-NAV-MASSAGE-SEATS_W0QQitemZ160267500212QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item160267500212&_trkparms=39%3A1%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A13&_trksid=p3911.c0.m14.l1318 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
