Truck suggestions

[lacroupade]

Right.....her indoors has sold MY Honda HRV to her lad and thinks knocking about temporarily in a Nissan Micra is beneath her

So before she executes her threat to nick my truck as shes always liked the Terrano, I need suggestions, preferably based on personal experience, for something to replace it. My view is a SWB T2 but I can't believe the stupid money people are asking at the moment. Saw one bloke in Autotrader (private seller) trying to get £6750 for a car that booked at £4500 tops!!!!!

I'd get her a Landy but can't get my head around spending twice as much as a T2 for the same vintage on a truck thats about as reliable as a Virgin train....

Requirements are as follows:

1. Must be 4WD (we live in the arse end of Wales).

2. Must accommodate 2 x Labs, 2 x Jack Russells and 2 x errr... other small dogs

3. Must be reliable.

4. MPG not that important as its local use only. Ditto higher mileage on the right vehicle.

5. Budget approx £4k.

Answers on a postcard please.....
