Depends if you are after a wagon or ute as far as price too. Often a wagon will be a lot cheaper to buy and the ongoing rego costs are lower. I recently went through a similar exercise and settled on an older Isuzu bighorn that cost a lot less than my budget. The diffs are a similar construction to the Safari and come from the same factory so give good traction without going to lockers. Really like the Reccaro (however you spell it) seats too. One to avoid is any Isuzu with the 3.0 4JX1 engine, @mudgripz and our mechanic friend cant wait for me to get rid of my temporary vehicle with one in.
