An 05' SUV for $10K and under...

Try a KIA SORENTO (the Lexus look a like)... or SATURN VUE (with the Honda made 3.5 v-6)

Really? Are you talking full size or smaller? I mean I have a Scion they technically call an 'SUV' but it is tiny. When I think SUV I think Tahoe, Explorer, Grand Cherokee, Escalade, Sequoia etc not HHR, XB, Crossfire, Jeep Liberty, Honda CRV.

Found a few Exploders right around 30k for right at 10k, the XLT ones to boot.

Found 1 TB for that, but upper 50k in mileage.

Found a bunch of Dodge Durangos for that, which might be my best bet, but my Dad said stick with Chevy or Ford.

Buying this for my mom, she just needs something to get around in. Small to mid size, 4 door, decent gas mileage but not a huge concern.
Don't want to go too old or too many miles. Trying to find something halfway recent. She has an 88 4-runner now so just about anything is an upgrade...haha

My 2004 jeep with 58k was only 7750. Just needed new plugs/wires and brake work.

I looooove the jeep. the 2wd 4.0 ain't that bad on gas, either. about 18 mpg with an old lady driving it. (no offense to your mother)

AAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH AAAHAHAHAHAHA *points* AHAHAHAHAH!
I sell used cars, you have to be joking. You people always wanting new shit and not wanting to pay new shit prices.

You need to change some of your wants.

A motor really isn't broken in till a bit after 20k anyways. You pay quite a bit more for 20-30k than you do around 50k.

Why does it have to be over 05? You pay for that.

Also the whole it being a good car costs more than a piece of shit. It being a pos will cost you more in the long run though.

Maybe you'll luck out at a police seized auction, but it's unlikely.

i forgot to add that im looking for a suv for $16.5k and under
