Hi
I'm planning to buy a car which costs around RM20,000 all the cars are manufactured in 2000 and planning to use it for camping in Malaysia.
My options are Toyota Harrier, Unser, Prado, Estima, and Honda CRV.
Can I know which car will be easier to get parts to fix and has a low maintenance fee?
Also which car do you think will last longer for just normal camping in Malaysia.

Prado (only) for ease of maintenance .
I had very low cost maintenance on it until it was stolen away after traveling 400,000 km plus .

Oops ...... that was very old model . I bought 2.8D(?) new somewhere in 1997 , supposedly first generation type .

Before this model , I used the boxy shape Land Cruiser (2.7D ?) which was equally maintenance free sort of .

My former work place has been using various numerous models of Hilux beginning with 2.0(?)/2.4L models .

Some of above used limited slip differentials (instead open differential) requiring limited slip GL5 gear oils instead of ordinary GL5 .

However, I am out of touch with current models in specific details of maintenance issue , if any .
