I need some advice on choosing a new family vehicle as I tend to be heavily biased.
I intend to replace my wifes trusty BA Falcon XT as it getting a bit old. I am looking for a NEW diesel 4x4, it has to be a proper 4x4, for trips to Fraser etc so awd is out. I can't believe I am saying this but I can't afford what Ford has on offer. I don't want to spend more than $35k. My options are: 1. Mitsubishi Challenger currently in runout. Probably auto. Pro: 5 year new car warranty. Con: As its the old shape after 5 years I expect the resale value to be shocking but I like a wagon over a ute. 2. Mitsubishi Triton new shape Pro: 5 year warranty and because its a ute should retain some value. Con: It's a ute so rides like a ute. At this price I am getting a tarted up commercial vehicle. 3. Nissan Navara new shape Pro: higher spec than the Triton Con: only 3 year warranty. I know of at least three mates who have had drama with their Navaras. New shape is a bit of an unknown quantity. So what have I missed? I need to make a decision soon before my wife goes out and buys a bloody Great Wall. Ryan |
