yeah good ones are hard to come by.. i have a commercial (old style XUD engined one) hence i am on here
be warned, the RHZ engines (most of them are fitted with mazda units) some have immo issues, which requires much pennies if it goes wrong and it sometimes just suddenly goes.. however there are ways, and people who i know that are knowledgeable, and i know of at least 2 ways to disable the immobiliser but it requires the use of a soldering iron and may well brick the ECU
i would personally get the LWB older style one in the Diesel, less leccy bits to go wrong, about an inch higher chassis wise, but less refined and with less goodies and creature comforts
look for rust at the bottom of the lower seatbelt mounts in the front, rear footwells, and under the seatbelt mounts/boot floor where they join onto the rear arches.
obvious signs of problems from the HDi,
check the 4x4 works, if this has auto hubs, then it will likely have a small air pump that comes on when you stick it in 4wd, you may have to roll the car slightly forward for it to engage, but do so, and try to turn the front shafts by hand (if locked you shouldn't be able to).
Stick it out for a nice one, i have seen them go as low as 45000 miles for that price, sometimes less.. gold ones sell rediculously cheap..
i am looking for an older style, LWB V6 personally because they sound ammaaaaaazing when ragged..
hold out for a commercial, i know of at least 2 for sale now, look at suzuki spares uk group on facebook, one on there for sale now. (is offroad modified tho)

Given the choice between Niall and the sheep. I would choose the sheep!
