Help! Buying a second hand family wagon.

This is what I have been telling her for years! For some reason, she doesn't like the Falcons or Commodores. I saw a 2010 Falcon wagon at Auto City, and she cringed.. I think she prefers the more upright seating position, which is what I like too. The only things I don't like about a Kluger is the name and it runs a V6 which would be an expensive exercise to repair.

Why, what's up with it?

My youngest has a 2016 poverty pack Triton dual cab as a work vehicle.
Does a few miles in it and no problems to date.
Why they give you a work truck with no "bluetooth" is beyond me
Ford Explorer???

Surely you would not seriously suggest a Ford Exploder?

I test drove a 07 Territory which drove beautifully had a near perfect interior and was mechanically sound. The 4 speed auto performed well. When I looked at all the usual rust prone points, I discovered that rust had set in under the spot welded plates where the engine bay meet the pillars. Easily fixed, but I looked into the cavities in the front guard and found major rust damage. The salesperson was most put out that he hadn't seen it when he bought at auction. Living on the coast would kill any Territory in a couple of years..

They are pretty roomy inside, very deceiving, but like
modern cars it was hard to see where the front of the car is for parking
but it would have sensors for that Id think, good dash lay out etc

yeah you'd think. we run the hybrid camry if you don't change the oil on time every time you will have problems (5000km) don't expect the battery to go past 160 000km. (more than 3k). give me a pm if you want to know more about em.

I have discounted a hybrid, ATM.
The EB I am using has dual fuel and yet again I found some very shoddy workmanship done on the conversion. An A/C hose was rubbing on the coil of a gas solenoid at idle. The solenoid was loose and was rolling to and fro on the metal tube. The tank is due for a re-test too.
