toyota fortuner vs innova vs pajero fieldmaster

[niky]

i changed the break pads already, and the balljoints are due for replacement....

Sabi ko nga, eh.

let me guess... you've already fixed some suspension parts and the brakes?

Ball joints are a typical item. Spend extra for original (but still buy at MazFord instead of the casa) unless you want to keep buying every 50k kms. Even better, get the new balljoints injected at Cruven.

Keep it first. Save up for something in fresher condition.

If you want the extra "porma" of an SUV, then go ahead, but best research typical maintenance costs first for what you pick, and be aware that you'll have to budget an extra 50k in contingency money (interesting side note... replacement shocks for Pajero Fieldmaster? 8.5k each) for possible problems on the vehicle you will buy, so it pays to inspect carefully and haggle down the price for repairs that will be needed.
