Rose city cars.

I think my cousin still owns that business; he's a good fluffybunny although I don't know that he'd be a pushover for getting a lower price out of.

Cool, thanks
Looks like they also have a couple of Landcruisers on their website

Our Vehicles | Rose City Cars | New Zealand NZ

If I head in there shall I lead with "Hey, so I sorta know your cousin from the internet..."

Most likely he’d say if you know that little shit, I’m upping the price!

Thoughts on this @Crucial or anyone else in the know?

Detail - Trade M Autos

I reckon I could get it for $12k

I prefer the Outback variant for the extra clearance and height but this is otherwise the same vehicle. Looks pretty good mileage and age. Is a comfortable car(more car like than upright sitting big 4WD). Will get better km to the litre (remember how expensive petrol gets down south).
Most importantly will get you up and down the ski roads fine.

Edit: should say that I'm no expert but just had an outback for a few years as our ski vehicle and it did the job well

@Crucial cool thanks, that was my amateur view also. Reckon the missus will feel more comfortable driving it also.

They are quite nice to drive. Slight different feel in the way the power transfers across the wheels but it gives a feeling of sticking to the road nicely.

Just realised that it has roof bars already. It may be worth looking for a secondhand roofbox to throw on top. Really handy for extra room especially to throw the skis etc in.

@Crucial great thinking
