    I currently have 08 Nissan Navara Crew Cab ,all leather and automatic.

    Its an absolute animal on the diesel , costs me €200 a week sometimes on diesel, I dont drive her hard and my usual daily Journey is Newbridge to Nutley Avenue and the D4 areas and then just tipping out to suppliers and grabbing a few bits n bobs.

    Has the hood on the back too.

    I had a Nissan Pathfinder before hand and when you would fill her to the brim she would show 800-850 on the fuel clock, the navara shows 586-623 when filled up.

    So I have had enough and decided to get rid of her ,

    I own the jeep out rite and dont owe any money on it ,

    Firstly would anyone have any idea how much it would be worth , 79K on the clock and it great nick.

    Secondly , I dont really need a jeep any more but love to get something with 4X4 as it was a lifesaver the last couple of bad winters , I could get out and about most days even in the worst of the snow and Ice.

    Dont really have a spare money so what I ever I get for the Navara I would be putting in to the new Machine , was looking at a Caddy Van but I would be without the 4x4 or an estate 4x4,

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated

    Subaru Forester. I would prefer the diesel version which means going back a few years I think.

    Just checking CBG and carzone and they only have 2011 versions in the diesel version.

    Having a look now for the 4motion , did the caddy ever come like this ?

    Transporter might be a little too big for me

    Ah cool, for VAT purposes Id be getting a diesel , at least i cant get something back on that .

    If I found a 4 motion caddy or golf van id prob jump on it now !

    Suppose it depends how much Id get for my own machine

    Yep, the caddy 4motion is available, but you'll pay a premium for them.

    Caddy

    FYI, if you move to a 'smart' meter electricity plan, you CAN'T move back to a non-smart plan.

    You don't have to take a 'smart' meter if you don't want one, opt-out is available.

    Buy drinks in 3L or bigger plastic bottles or glass bottles or cartons to avoid the DRS fee.

    Thats a lot of money for a Caddy but it is AWD. I know a guy who paid more for the lower HP model but he got all the elec packs and alloys.

    They started to do them in 2008 , but have not found one sale in Ireland , may have to check the UK for one ,

    Would anyone know what type of money I would be looking at for my own ?

    Is there a place I can bring it to be valued ?

    Get a nice short wheel base one, scarce here, but as your VAT registered and Sterling is weak, head to the uk and get a nice one.
