If you could stretch the budget.

Here is my suggestion.

1998-up Mazda MPV.















Why? It's fully equipped. All power features, 4 captains chairs, Dual airbags, ABS, 4 wheel disc brakes. So at least, sa safety features updated pa din sya. It is powered by the Mazda WL turbodiesel engine (110hp). Same engine as the 1st gen Ford Everest. So, madami pa din pyesa. It is more like 90s Innova V.

This particular unit sells for just 158K
