This isn't for me, but a colleague whose daughter needs a suitable 4x4 to tow a horse box.
She's interested in the Daewoo Musso, specifically a 2000 model with an automatic box and the 2.9TD engine. This is a Mercedes lump, which is something in its favour, but what about the gearbox? Is that a Mercedes sourced unit, or something really nasty and likely to grenade?
The main criteria are that it must be reliable, and cheap to repair if it does break. Landrovers and Shoguns seem to be out of the question due to running costs/age/purchase price. Towing ability is obvioulsy important, and the Daewoo is up to the job. Budget is £3.5K, and remember this is a woman, so it needs to be a bit comfy at least. An economical-ish diesel is also a must, so no Jeep 4.0 V8's!
Is there anything that would mean the Daewoo is a definite lemon, aside the looks/lack of prestige?
Cheers
