The budget to 15k limits good XC90 options, most I would point you towards sit at 18-20k what about this thing http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Mi...

No doubt, but that wouldn't stop you having one.
They make excellent 'appliance cars'

No diesel in kluger and the interior looks like it was designed 10 years ago , which it was , also 2012/13 Kia still has 1-2 years remaining on factory warranty .

Kia is surprisingly 'light' to drive, has good levels of kit, and the cabin is actually quite a nice place.

But it will feel cheap if you are used to modern Volvos.

The hyundai dealer network are easier to deal with than kia
@egads (she/her) experience with kia support was not very impressive

Kia Australia and the dealer network are pretty terrible. They sell on the super long warranties and great reliable cars but if something goes wrong it can be like pulling teeth with the dealers and unlike most other brands Kia Aus seem to err on the side of their dealers, they really didn't care how bad my experience was after the engine lunched itself.

The motor in the sorrento is the same as the iload iirc, they fail the injector copper washer, which leaks combustion into the rocker cover, which then melts the timing chain guides, which then get noisier and noisier, then the motor stops. There is three chains and they cost $600 at trade price. Plus doing the injectors.

What about a Nissan Pathfinder R51?

I know that they have the risk of the Grenade diesel in them, but by now most have gone bang...

Otherwise it's the Pajero.
