Guys,

My ongoing quest to find a second car has still come up short so I turn to you again. I have decided against the Escalade (Thanks M ) and the Armada and decided to drop my amount to spend.

Here are the rules.

Must have less than 60k and be at least a 99 model or newer. I have decided that I do not want to spend anymore than $15,000 on it so keep that as a max.

I do not like Subaru's or small cars.

So help me decide.

I know you said no small cars... but what about Audi A4? Another choice is a used IS.

Another option is an older 5 series. That would be the best bet.

OK...I take it that you want as nice an SUV as possible within your stated limitations here.

The Toyota Highlander, unless you have to do heavy towing or off-road use, has always been an excellent mid-sized SUV for all-around use.

I did a KBB ( Kelly Blue Book ) for you on a 2001 4-cyl with AWD and 60,000 miles...average equipment. ( wasn't sure of your zip ) .......$15,480 retail ( a V6 would be about a thousand more)

With a little barganing you could probably negotiate $15,000 on one.

Guys....I agree the older 5-series is a great car, but I think he wants an SUV.

How about a 99 LS400? Not sure if you can find one with less then 60K though... maybe 80.

i looked on KBB (with my zip because i didn't know yours)...

and i found that a 2000 SR5 Sport Utility 4d Toyota 4runner

with 71,000 miles (11,000 over what you wanted )

V6 3.4 liter automatic....

goes for $14,785

with a bit of bargaining... you could probably get that down more...

not sure if this is much help but a 4runner, highlander, or rav4 may be pretty nice choices...

2000+ M5s have depreciated to about 30k, maybe a little more, get one of those!

C-Train

rx300????

i dunno if that's what you're looking for
