soreshoulder Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 ok so went into the NFU with a couple of cars in mind like the suzuki jimny, vitara, pajero junior and sportrak. First quote he came back with was £3200 to insure the jimny 3rd party fire and theft!!! i knew the vitara wasnt going to be any better £4500! We were just about to give up hope when i siad type in an old landy commercial, he did and it came to £1200! and then we typed in a Disco Tdi the 2.5 ones and it was the same £1200, then a Izuzu trooper which was £1300! all of the commercial 4x4's came out at around this price, thing is i can only have 2 seats and no rear windows. So PW's which is the best commercial 4x4, i am inclined to a disco but will i be walking most of the time because its broken down? :look: i have around £2000-2500 to spend, £3000 at a push :look: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HDAV Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 (edited) Are you sure about 2 seats and no rear glass as many vans have 3 seats in the front (as do landrovers) and rear door glass...... none of them are particularly cheap to run....HiLux or other single cab pickup.

Do try admirmal or their sister compamy Bell they where cheapest on my 4.6 RR Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
