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.

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?

I like the G8 GT; low miles and warranty coverage for at least a year or two.

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.

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....

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.

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...

A reporter from a large national newspaper would like to talk to consumers about why they chose the vehicle they purchased. If you are interested in speaking to the reporter, please contact ctalatiedmunds.com no later than January 16, 2009.

'05 Durango with a Hemi...40K miles.. Asking $12K.
 
Didn't Akangel have a used Durango that "turned out to be crap", & she dumped it after a few months?
 
The problem to me is, buying used American SUV, & mile-ing it up, with no warranty probably. The 4runner is too small--is he hauling a Little League team?
 
Are there any great deals on new Detroit SUV's? Plenty of warranty, if GM or Chrysler survives. Wait--used or new Pilot????
