Thanks @Gaurav. Well I was tilting towards the Armada mainly coz of the low prices and spacious seating to accomodate my parents as well. I guess its a long way to go for me become a serious offroader.. need to start first ! btw.. is there a limit on how many posts we can make as a free user? I was trying to reply to your post couple of days back and I was being led to paid subscription page. @Batuhan Kulac - I need a 7 seater mate... Xterra won't cut it. Thanks for the suggestion though!

@Gaurav and @Frederic Thanks for your replies, sorry I was caught up with a few personal errands and couldn't reply back. It's harder than I thought to find a decent pathfinder in my budget, same for Pajero. Meanwhile I was drawn back to consider Armada (2007-2012) as it falls in my budget and the Armadas in this range are in better condition than the Pathfinders I've seen so far. Its V8 engine is going to make me sweat, but i feel it may be more comfortable for the family plus a decent offroader. Your thoughts on this please ? and Maintenance costs?

Hi There guys, Hope you can help me out here. I'm looking to get a 7 seater with decent off-road capabilities to enjoy the deserts around us! Like the subject says, I'm on a budget right now so was looking at the R51 Pathfinder which ranges around 15-20K or maybe a Pajero in the same range, so that I can spend a bit on some mods before we reach the end of the year! Are these good choices? or can you good people suggest the way forward? Thank you!
