I've been trying to sort out a new car for the missus and we're in a bit of a bind as to find something suitable. We have a tight balance for criteria which makes things hard.
We need to trade in her BA XT and cop a bit of a loss on it as its had a hard life and needs too much work to sell privately. Budget for the new vehicle extends to $13K-15K. It needs to be capable of towing a double horse float and one horse on occassion which is the critical point. Aside from this desirables would be something light on fuel and decent running costs. My leading thought was a T30 X-trail as these are rated to 2000kg but opinions vary as to how well they tow. I'd be happy with a GQ Patrol or something similar too but they're getting harder to find in car yards in SA. Any other suggestions would be fantastic.
