I'd personally go the Commode Door or Falcon. Everyone I come across with European vehicles is having nothing but issues and when they do it is difficult and expensive to get them repaired. A good idea is to check used vehicles of comparable age and see what sort of mileage is typical on them. If they are any good they will, generally, be out there clocking up the k's. A lot of the Euro stuff doesn't seem to clock up big k's, but the Just Holden' On's and Fix Or Repair Daily's do.

Like that classic old Landie stalwart's. I'd often hear how they were 30 years old and still going. Mainly because they couldn't be kept running long enough to clock up the k's and wear out.
