Thread: advice greatly appreciate!!!!

Ok my initial concept of owning a land rover was soon put in check by some very open dialogue from some forum members, it was very well received

im now looking at a run about for occasional weekend away tramping or God forbid I get out for a hunt as well!!! something I can sleep in the back or get a bit of gear in.

im tending towards a surf, down side I am on a budget and im currently overseas. The budget is strict as im having to fund repairs that EQC have told me were pre existing prior to chch earthquakes on an old house! so I am up for new roof and some other repairs!

I have a car for day to day use but last time I took the harrier to Waimate my mechanic spent a good half hour prying the muffler off the chassis!!

as an example I saw this

Toyota Hilux Surf 1989 | Trade Me

I then got the dog and lemon guide and am more confused than ever!!!

What should I be looking for in this age bracket, it not going to be used for major off road but I would like something that can handle a bit of the rough?? Not cost an arm to fuel and reasonably reliable?

Cheers
