Thank you for having me here.

I'm going to turn 50 soon, and am a schoolteacher. Not particularly passionate about vehicles, but that's because I've always treated them as utility possessions, not recreational ones.

Started with an old Fiat 1100, bought nth-hand after I started working. Lots of 'office cars' thereafter, so not really much choice. Then owned a Zen for a few years. First new car was a Qualis, a hard-headed purchase my entire family has been much delighted with. Perfect to pack the kids, dogs, and take off. And utterly reliable.

Planning to buy an XUV, will be posting seeking advice in the (hopefully) correct forum.

Welcome to the forum walchan99! Hope you have a good time here.
How many KMs on the Qualis ? Wouldnt the Innova be more of a natural upgrade for a Qualis owner ?

Enjoy your stay here!

Thank you so much for the warm responses. It's good to be here.
sajo, 165000 km on the Qualis. Complete fan, but never liked the Innova's bulk. Don't want to spend as much as a Fortuner costs.
Alfa romeo, both are mixes. One's a stray, the other's half-lab half-dwarf. :-)
97_Octane, am holding a confirmed booking, but doing my homework before I pick it up. Hoping for lots of help from this great board.
