severely.

So what did your sister end up doing?

Currently test driving 4Runners.

I have a 2007 SAAB 9-7x loaner now for my convertible. It is the most overpriced thing ever. For the model I have now, the 280hp V6 (nice engine btw) the base price is almost 40k! For that price you can have a fully loaded Trailblazer SS! It is a decent truck, comfortable and roomy, but the egonomics are messed up and the dismal safety rating is dissapointing. The 4Runner should be nice :thumbup: (just make sure she gets a model with side curtain airbags)

Yeah but STILL no Roll-Deploy!

Have you considered a five- or six-year-old Toyota LC?

Those things are pigs. I doubt she's gonna be going offroading in the jungle or needs three rows of seats. Horrid gas mileage.

i thought about a LC for colorado, but i need something with more... power :p for colorado next year. great bulletproof cars though, and an 2000 or 01 would be under 20k most likely. Crap mileage, but a great car all the same.

My local stealer has several 2006 9-7x's that are STILL for sale. They NEVER go at list, and generally become loaners. one sweet deal I have seen more than once from Saab Nashua North in NH (Super volume internet stealer) is a $8000 one pay lease for two years (and that comes with free maintenance). something to look into.

I think thats five years of car for her budget, eh? :rofl:

that being said, go for the LC or T4R. :thumbup:

UPDATE:

She now has a 2008 XC90 to drive for the next few days. I think she's going to end up with it. She loves it. :tsk:

Man, it takes me 2 minutes to find a new ride...takes your sis 2 months :rofl:
