| Now I know you squire lot probably own top of the range 4x4 with en-suite facilities, hot line phones direct to the farm and space for 4 body guards but mere peasants like me have to budget y'know. It's time to sell the 'toy' and get a 4x4 with a budget of £3k to £4K. It won't be used as a 4x4 as such but just a gas guzzling shopping trolley.
What to look for or, better, what to avoid! Thanks. (the bigger the better) |

| If it’s only being used for supermarket runs, why do you need a 4x4 |

| I'd avoid the RR, doubt you'd get one on that budget anyhow. Had one for a while a few years back, hated it, like driving a caravan. Couldn't stand wallowing around so got rid. |

Well, and the odd run to work (when I go) which is once / twice a week (15 miles). Being of mature years I'm going through my bucket list and under cars it says ''4x4'' so I'm selling my present 2 cars and getting only 1. So far I've seen Nissan Pathfinder (reviews not that good), Warrior (advised get one after 2004), Ranger (OK)  |

The Duster came 2nd in a recent poll for best 4x4 but, as you say, holding prices. Budget could be flex a bit. I'm in no major rush this side of Xmas so any advice is welcome. Thanks |
