Which car should I buy

Mon Sep 24, 2012 9:01 pm

Hi Guys,
I'm in a dilema here and need your openion. I'm searching to buy another car to use for work and offroading, the problem is that I have a limited budgedt and I'm trying to find a car with least maintenance problems.

After some search on dubizzle I found that my budget will get me either
- Land Cruiser (~1996) , 250K+ milage
- Nissan Patrol (~1998), 200K ~ 300K+ Milage
- Jeep Wrabgler (~2002 ~2005), 125K average milage

I usually prefer Japanese cars for their reliability but, will it be that reliable at that age? and from all of these selection, which may be a better choice than the others?(I know that it depends on car condition, usage, and modifications)

I'm a Jeep fan but would not want to use a Wrangler as a dail driver. If I had to be limited to one car for all purposes, I think I would go for a Patrol.

nissan

i had a 1998 model - went great on road as well as off road, it is not as powerful on the dunes but you just need to drive it like a manual car, and it will do what you need it to do

the only problem i had was the air flow but once put new hose in it was fine,
they are reliable cars and esay fixed
