Thanks crosswind and viper888.

Going to view two explorers tomorrow.

I'm currently getting 7km/l with my pickup and i hear an explorer is half of that but its something I'm willing to put up with and trade off with quality and space.

Speaking of space, I'm a "the bigger the better" kinda guy which is why I chucked in the ford everest, fortuner and alterra in there. The CX-7 was and is a wild card!

Thing is with a 600k fort, alterra or everest is do you think i can get a decent one or would they all be "laspag" by now? Actually same with the explorer, are they too old and prone to repairs at this time?

Thanks in advanced!
