Thanks for that fellas, Her budget is pretty tight. She lives on a farm in central Queensland and is doing it pretty hard.
I drive up there from Brisbane fairly often and am prepared to help her out a bit. I'll keep my eyes open on gumtree and wait for something to come up now that I know what cars to look for. The reconditioned one is the smart way to go but dollar wise its necessary to do it in smaller bites. btw, will a 4y fit?
cheers
