which of those 4wd's is "bang for the buck"

my kuya told me to buy a car... preferably a 4wd....he's from dubai and he will be back here in manila by november! He wanted to have a 4wd by the time he arrives here....

Our budget is 500-600k

i prefer
1. okay sa offroad
2. di masyadong sirain
3. mura ang presyo ng parts at madaling makahanap ng parts pag nasira
4. di malakas sa gas compared to expedition
5. kahit wala masyadong visual appeal basta okay ang performance at reliability(pero kung pareho mas maganda)

questions that keeps bugging my mind
1. pangit ba talaga ang converted..... ano ang cons nito??
2. talaga bang sirain ang pajero..oh yung pajero lang na mahina makina 2.5L

TY my fellow Tsikoters.......

For me, between Patrol, LC, Trooper, Pajero, I'd go with:

1. Toyota Land Cruiser
2. Nissan Patrol
3. Mitsubishi Pajero
4. Isuzu Trooper

But of course all vehicles have their pros and cons. It's a matter of choosing the right vehicle for your requirements and specs. Moreover, all four vehicles are exceptionally capable 4x4s on and off road.

just stay away from the bighorn and any other converted vehicles ... the patrol safari is a good choice sa pajero naman get the 2.8l version pero i think for your budget mahihirapan kang humanap ng gusto mong 4wd

wala naman prob sa converted, just check throughly ang conversion kung tama..pano mo malalaman:

check and take pictures ng original LHD,specifically ung steering part..., then compare mo sa converted na gusto mo..pag 99% pareho, ok yan.1%dashboard and 4wd shifter position nalang yun malamang...

ako driving a converted 4wd van fo 6 years na..no probs...

DELICA SPACEGEAR 4WD ka nalang... its a pajeroand L4-spacegear rolled into 1.. good 4wd capabilities(pajero drive train!) with the practicality and space of a minivan!

Bossing boybi, di ba may mga less than 500k na na patrol? Of course were talking of the safari series ha. Siguro 94 model makakabili.

Pajero VS Patrol VS SaFari VS Bighorn

Patrol at SaFari, parehong Nissan Patrol yan, models lang nagkakaiba. Pero with that budget, you'll probably only get the Nissan Safari.

My choice would be the Safari rather than the Pajero.
Bighorn is out of the question. No matter how good it was converted, it is still a converted vehicle. I don't wanna find out how good really it was converted during an accident. I'd rather get an original LHD vehicle.

Meron ako nakita binebenta dyan sa Nissan North EDSA na Safari around two weeks ago, i think it was being sold at P650K. Baka negotiable pa.
