So the time has come for me to purchase a new car. Well okay, I don't
need a new car. But I have had my current car, a Toyota Camry, for six years!!! I can't believe it has been that long. It is paid for, which is a HUGE plus, but it has over 100K miles and I'm ready to let it go. So I have been researching mostly crossover SUV's. I only have two small children, so space isn't a huge issue for just four of us. I need room to fit two adults and two children comfortably. But I'm not ready for a full size SUV. Well I take that back; I would buy an Escalade, Yukon Denali, or Tahoe LTZ, but those aren't in my price range. :) So I am searching for a mid-size crossover SUV that fits my budget, needs, and wants. Suprisingly, I found five that fit the bill! I have since e-mailed my selections to my SO (significant other) now let's see what he has to say! LoL! I think he will be pleasantly surprised that ALL my choices (pre-owned) are within or UNDER the budget!!! Now that's a shocker! But we're not making any purchases until next April when he returns from deployment. Oh, I almost forgot....here are the vehicles that I am interested in, let me know what you think or any first hand experience you've had with any.
2010 Chevy Traverse
MSRP $39,260
2010 Chevy Equinox
MSRP $32,230
2009 Saturn Outlook
MSRP $36,720
2010 GMC Acadia
MSRP $43,860
2010 Land Rover LR2
MSRP $41,425
Note: All of the prices are based upon the trim levels and options I am interested in; which include, but are not limited to: navigation, rear headrest entertainment, and leather seating. These are also the prices of these vehicles brand new. I think after looking at all the prices, I will check out the certified pre-owned versions of all of these vehicles. :)))
Until Later,

I am so glad I stopped over and it is now fixed. :) I drive an Armada. You should look into that (but it is ummmm very full size.) I was going to get a Range Rover but it is not the most practical vehicles for children. I have a no eating rule in the car and we occasionally break it but if I had my Range, it would definitely be a no-no. Furthermore, with two little ones, you may need the upgrades like an entertainment package. I bought my Armada fully loaded because I knew we would be going far and the kids would need to be entertained. So look for something that has additional features. i drove the Acadia for a weekend and loved it so if I had to pick one, it would be that. Good luck and I will be stopping back.
