Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    Colleague in work buying her first car. She was looking at a Pajero Jnr 1.1L 1997. She has a budget of 2.2k and doesnt mind spending all of it.

    I dont know a lot about these cars/jeeps, any advice would be greatly appreciated maybe any alternative models/makes too.

    Many thanks

    Should have said the Pajero jun is €1750. Is that good value??

    I'm not an expert but that doesn't sound like good value to me.

    Could you post a link to it maybe?

    Does she need a jeep for any particular reason? Most people would buy a Nissan Micra or similiar as a first car -> Example

    Does she actually need a 4x4 like the Pajero Jnr or is it just something she likes? €2,200 will get you a very decent newer car these days. Unless she actually will be using the 4wd I would look at something like a Yaris or Fiesta as a first car.

    Also has she actually got an insurance quote on the Pajero Jnr?
