G'day all,
my parents are looking to replace their car and want to get something they can start seeing some more of the country in.
Don't need 4x4, won't be going off road.
Mid size or bit bigger
About 20 - 25k to spend
Want something fairly
young
Inexpensive to repair
Doesn't need to do any towing.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. They were looking at a Suburu Outback, but after sitting in one, they thought it may be a bit small. I suggested a Territory, but outside their budget. This car needs to last around 5 years or so before they replace it one last time to head off on their round Australia tours. This one is to just get them by so they can start getting about.
Thanks very much
Smocky.

Thanks,
I was leaning towards Commodore or Falcon too. 1-2 year old cars very good value at the moment. I hire plenty of cars when interstate and usually get Magna's through budget. They're pretty good value, but wouldn't put them in the same class as the Ford or Holden for noise, comfort, ride etc. They just seem a bit rougher all together. Mind you, I'm in
Melbourne at the moment and have an X-Trail. Not impressed with it either !!!
Will keep thinking, but maybe a 1yo Falcon or Commo would be the go.
Cheers,
Smocky.
