I actually fixed up my pajero and continued to use it. As per your query, surf is a bit awkward to drive, so drive one, if you like it, buy it, else a prado. As far as engines are concerned, 1kz is robust, but very thirsty, 2L TE works rather well if you don't abuse it. 3l is the best option. But like a fellow member quoted, in the given amount, first look at your options, then figure things out, finding a decent vehicle in this budget is becoming a problem as time goes on
