    Not considering the 1st gen Everest? Not a North American Ford, with Jap internals. Old school turbo diesel engine that isn't too shabby on performance. Big and tall. Legendary reputation for toughness. Most importantly, goes for 300+k only...

    Not very comfy. Radiator fan is annoyingly noisy.

    But those things are tanks. Hell, high water, etcetera. Under-rated alternative to an old Pajero.

    The trick is to find one that's still in good condition.

    Yup. But compared to a Crosswind of the same age, I'd say it's a much better deal, don't you think?

    Can't argue with that.

    Old Crosswinds are RIDICULOUSLY over-priced. But I guess that's a reflection of how unkillable the mechanical package is.

    (Just don't ask about aircon repairs on the models with dual AC... ouch.

    What have you repaired with your Crosswind's AC that's so expensive? Our Revo's rear AC has never been touched and it's 15 years old. Though the fact that it is seldom used may be a factor. So far the only thing I remember replacing with the AC system is the compressor, with a surplus Denso unit a few years back. Condenser was replaced due to a frontal collision and not due to failure. Never done any cleaning for the years I've been driving it too.

    We've actually spent more servicing the Tribute and Accord's AC systems. Now those cost an arm and a leg.

    BTT: I really believe the Everest is a good choice. There are many units for sale in Olx and many seem to be in good shape. Considering that the same price will get you a 2.8 (2.5 even) Pajero or 3.1 Trooper that's a decade or so older, or a comparably more ancient Crosswind all of which are most likely driven to the ground, it's well worth the money.
