not sure which vehicle your talking about here, as the only mazda b2000 that i know of (at least here in the states) is a mini pick up truck. there was a mazda version of the explorer for a while but i'd take a ZJ over one of those generations of explorers any day. I really can't think of one japanese or European suv in the ZJ price range that isn't either a rust bucket, or have even more electrical nightmares. I'd say your closest competitor for luxury and comfort in the ZJ price range is an older land rover discovery. they go for about the same as a grand cherokee here in the US at least. One of those will not be anywhere near as reliable as a ZJ, and most likely will have just as many electrical gremlins. not to mention be much more expensive to upgrade and still won't be as competent as some of the more invested in ZJ's.
don't get me wrong I love the land rovers tho, I thought very hard about buying one. I came very close to buying one of the calloway range rovers even. But no, I really cannot name something that is a better value than ZJ's for older luxury 4x4's
edit- I think its important to note that I bought this jeep for 2300 dollars. Now even tho this is an extremely good deal, it just goes to show you how cheap one of these can be had for!
