Disco a good way to go

I WILL BE buying my first car in a few months and I want to buy a four-wheel drive because a lot of the kilometres I will be driving will be offroad. I am looking at a Landrover Discovery TDi because I can pick one up for $5000-$7000, but I will also be doing a lot of highway kilometres, and most of the four-wheel drives I have seen already have 200,000-300,000km on the clock. Is that too much?

THAT is a lot of kays and, with the higher mileages, you have to anticipate there might be more problems. The Disco is generally a sound vehicle and is very competent off-road, so it can be a good choice. Another one is an older Mitsubishi Pajero -- not as flashy, but a good solid vehicle nonetheless and there are lots around.
