Recommendations for cheap 2nd hand SUV for about $5000GBP

So the parents are coming over to visit for a couple of months and to savre them the effort, and expense, of renting an outrageously expensive rental i'm looking to get a cheapish 2nd hand SUV for about 5000gbp, or there abouts.

Now there are plenty in the price band, or close enough, withless than 100K KM's on the clock so i'm looking for suggestions to narrow down the search. So far i'm mainly looking at Mitsubishi, Toyota, Kea/Hyundai, Isuzu and looking at anything else that pops up - bear in mind this is NZL so the cars are mainly Asian, with a few euro's and Americans

So, any ideas? :smile:

We had a 4WD Nissan Xtrail when we lived in NZ. It could handle all the unsealed roads no problem, was very comfortable to drive and had a massive boot. It was the old style model - pre 2013.

Ah that could work, we were looking at the new model before we got the new Outlander and it seemed sound.
Thanks though, i'll have a look at some of the older ones :smile:
