As an outlier, you could also look at a used Landcruiser or LX470. Old and high mileage models are good value bets except for gas mileage
Irrational argument - nothing you get will drive like an x5.

Yeah, there is a LX470 here that is a little older than I would like, but the miles are half what I have. I just can't stand the thought to lose the mpg's. In the x5, I get around 21 on the hwy. The Tahoe w/ the 6 spd gets the same (on regular even). The MDX is even better. I just don't know.
The irrational is really pulling hard. Everytime I go for a drive, it pulls me back in. I'll have it paid off this year, but again, I just hate the thought of sinking money in it. The used market around here just really isn't that great, I'd need to take a drive to DFW or something similar.
