Replying to: kyfdx (Jan 11, 2009 9:24 am) Given the budget, 18K-20K miles/yr., wanting reliability: used 4runner or sequoia. Replies to this message: kyfdx (Jan 11, 2009 10:42 am) corvette (Jan 11, 2009 11:11 am) kyfdx (Jan 11, 2009 2:06 pm) and 1 more...

Replying to: woodyww (Jan 11, 2009 10:28 am) He thinks the 4Runner is a little small inside... The Sequoia isn't a bad idea, though... Wonder how old you have to go, to get down to the $20K range? I did think of a car my wife looked at this past summer... It was a loaded Volvo XC90 with V8, third row seating, etc.. 23K miles for $24,900.. Had 1.5 yrs of warranty left, too.. I'm guessing '06s are down near $20K now, non-certified... Thanks! Replies to this message: corvette (Jan 11, 2009 11:11 am) kyfdx (Jan 11, 2009 2:06 pm) corvette (Jan 11, 2009 3:18 pm)

Replying to: kyfdx (Jan 11, 2009 10:42 am) The 2.5T XC90 isn't bad, either, and would cost less than the V8. Also, what about a last-generation Lexus GS430? I think those are in his price range. Replies to this message: kyfdx (Jan 11, 2009 2:06 pm) corvette (Jan 11, 2009 3:18 pm)

Replying to: corvette (Jan 11, 2009 11:11 am) Yeah.... I think he'd like the Lexus.. A lot of stuff to go wrong with that one, though... Hmmm.. maybe a GS, as well? Replies to this message: corvette (Jan 11, 2009 3:18 pm)

Replying to: kyfdx (Jan 11, 2009 9:24 am) I like the G8 GT; low miles and warranty coverage for at least a year or two.

Replying to: kyfdx (Jan 11, 2009 2:06 pm) I was referring to the second-gen GS (1998-2005). It started out as the GS400 but got the engine upgrade (GS430) before the new model debuted. I think it was relatively uncomplicated compared to the current model.

a few year old Acura TL (the just replaced body style)? A sedan, but not boring.

Replying to: stickguy (Jan 11, 2009 6:35 pm) Yeah... that was actually my first suggestion.. He called me again this evening.. to get my thoughts on his latest find.. '05 Durango with a Hemi... loaded up... third row.. 40K miles.. Asking $12K.. sigh... Actually, not a terrible choice... says he likes it better than a Tahoe or Envoy... At least if it turns out to be crap, he is starting from a lower number....

Replying to: kyfdx (Jan 11, 2009 7:07 pm) When gas goes to $4 , guess who he is going to blame. A '07 Saturn Outlook or GMC Acadia should be under $20k and gets pretty good mileage for it's size. A Dodge Journey would still have alot of warranty left if he like Chryslers and thinks they will still be around. Replies to this message: kyfdx (Jan 12, 2009 8:39 am)

Replying to: guss (Jan 12, 2009 4:15 am) Well... he says he doesn't care about gas... Considering he likes his cars loaded, I'm doubting under $20K on an Acadia or Outlook... but, I like that idea better...
