My 2WD Ranger was $43K new, with tow bar, tray liner, and cover. Nissan 2.5 have heard of a few dropping their bottom ends. Mates one shit the diff but at 200 ks and parts were a problem. Had the last model Colorado and that was a good vehicle no probs apart from dirty diesel in 100K. They go well and youll get a 4X4 09,10 for 30K

brand new 2wd holden 36K loving it.

The nissans are all good to just don't seam to last as long in my opinion as I have both

Nissan 2.5 2wd.............dropped the bottom end last month. was 200k though

X lease ranger / bt50 canopy tow bar etc 20 thousand ks ( wtf) $ 40 k . Mazda has capped services 3 yrs at $200 which I would considder over ford as some of the service costs are up around $600 / $800

My Ranger service costs are split alternative $400/$500 service fees so not sure where your $600/$800 comes from.

Go in on at the last day of a month and you'll find the salesperson and manager far more likely to wheel and deal. Also seriously look at demos, pre reg etc, I got a demo, 9 months old, 8000km and drove away about $8k below RRP, but then further negotiated the $2500 canopy to be included at no extra costs.

If you can stand the design of the BT50, I think they're cheaper to drive away than the Ranger.

Apart from being butt ugly the reason I went with ford over Mazda is Ultimate motr group are selling 10 fords to 1 Mazda, resale probs
Personal choice

Believe Toyota has a brand new wagon due in 2015, so couldn't buy old technology no matter how many face lifts, also believe the toys are very hard riding on the road, they also only make a 4 x 4 in the big body

nissan it seams you get a good one or not
rangers/bts are good dont see many problems but are expensive to buy
now dont fire all your guns at once but whats wrong with a great wall? some one in munseys position it would suit, dont have to work hard out for for 3 years just to pay the vehicle off which = more profit for the family
the ones iv seen have been all mitsubishi tech , which should easly do 200k if looked after
just food for thought

my brother inlaw in oz is seeing a few GW's in the outback and reckons they are quite tough for what they are.

Wouldn't drive a wagon with an ANCAP rating of ONE! Great Wall Sangyong, and a few others!
