| Yep, I found the prices were around £14k+ as well. To be honest, after test driving them I wasn't overly impressed and if you dig a bit they have a very big question mark over their reliability if worked i.e. not just used for taking anklebiters to school or posing in the golf club car park.
I got an Isuzu double cab pick up in the end, absolutely brilliant. Handles well, very reliable, great off road, tonnes of space and does 38mpg on the motorway. They've not got the middle class pose factor that the Navara does though, they are working lumps but there are lots of auto boxes, they do them with leather and buttons to press (if that's your thing), IIRC they have the highest towing capacity of any pickup (might be wrong though) and they're about a couple of grand under the cost of an equivalent Nissan or Mitsu. They're also one of the most popular pickups around (sold as Chevvys in the US and the best seller in the far east).
