I'm looking to get my dear mother a replacement car.
years back i got her a Mercedes 190, but it's getting on and she's complaining it's too big.
I want to get her a 4x4 cos for some reason she's paranoid about keeping the grandkids safe!?!
...she likes the look of the Toy-ota Rav4.

anyway, i'm looking to spend as little at possible (but stealing it is a no-no)
Not worried about the amount of work it needs so thinking about finding the lemon-iest freelander and doing it up. (aka, 99% of freelanders)

...opinions?
 
at 65 she not likely to go fast enough to crash, she just wants it riot proof. my sisters kids have a violent abusive father.
i have to reinforce her cars. she's had death threats and everything.
That's why i aint worried about getting a lemon, cos i'd be welding reinforcements on it anyway!
 
New Land Rovers are pretty good but expensive. Old discos and Freelanders don't fare too well unless you've got a massive bull bar and so on then it's all good :D. So if you're looking at a cheap Land Rover that isn't massive it only leaves the old Freelander which isn't so great in the crashes (3star). When you haven't much to spend there aren't really many cars that do that well in crashes because they're old! How much do you have to spend then I can help you :)

What has your dear mother done to deserve that ??

Why do you hate your mother so much ???
 
Good idea about the volvos, had a P reg S40 a few years back ...used to go, erm, how can i describe it... 'downhill rock climbing' in it.
I beat the crap out of it and it would still do 120mph on the way home.
