The 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander range of configurations is currently priced from $7,500.
Carsguide Contributing Journalist David Morley had this to say at the time: It's not the sexiest or sportiest SUV out there, but the Outlander does stack up for its good interior space and its value for money. Find one with relatively low kilometres and a full service record and if in any doubt, have the CVT transmission checked out before you hand over the money.

The 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander carries a braked towing capacity of up to 1600 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.
The Mitsubishi Outlander is also known as Mitsubishi Airtrek (2001–2005) in markets outside Australia.
The Mitsubishi Outlander 2017 prices range from $10,670 for the basic trim level SUV Es 5 Seat (2Wd) to $28,270 for the top of the range SUV Exceed Phev (Hybrid).
This issue will always come down to the documented service history that each car comes with. A switched-on previous owner will not only have serviced the vehicle by the book, but will also have kept the relevant receipts as proof of this crucial work being done. We'd always choose the vehicle with a big wad of service receipts over a similar car with no (or less) evidence of scheduled maintenance.
Beyond that, the Nissan clearly has almost 50,000 fewer kilometres on its odometer, so all things being equal it probably nudges ahead at that point. In either case, the CVT transmission fitted to these cars is likely to be the major source of mechanical grief down the track. Both brands' CVT transmissions have been known to give trouble. If that bothers you, then perhaps the one to buy is the Outlander AWD with the turbo-diesel engine option. In that guise, the vehicle has a conventional automatic transmission rather than a CVT.

You’ve covered some important things, like reversing cameras. All of the current cars come with ISOFIX baby seat mounting points, which are also must-have items when you’ve got kids to transport. It probably comes down to what your wife is comfortable driving, so I would suggest test-driving a number of different cars before making your decision.
