I'm looking at getting my first Isuzu.
I like the look and reasonable comfort of the Bighorn Plaisirs.
Found a couple of 1996, auto, 3.1 motor examples locally.
Both have travelled about 180000km.
Are these old girls any good, and what faults should I look for please?
Other option is Isuzu Mu 3 door, and a Wizard Mu 5 door, both 3.1 motor.
Just want cheap (around the $6000 - $7000 area) and reliable for the odd drive Nelson to Christchurch, plus a bit of local 4 wheel driving.
Your thoughts and comments welcome.
If I don't get one of these the Missus wants me to go to 'The Dark Side' and get a '96 Prado SWB (and I know enough about their head cracking, etc).
So any help much appreciated.
Should add that we are a couple of oldies, so raised, snorkelled, thrashed and crashed is not for us.
