Looking for a new affordable vehicle...

I need to be able to drive it year round and get decent gas mileage.

I need to be able to drive it on 5 miles of washed out dirt roads once a week and not give a crap.

I need it to be able to tow my car to the track.

I need it to be new(ish) with low mileage and a warranty. It’s staying stock.

Here’s what I came up with… Discuss. :facepalm

your wording is funny… so you’re considering that car or you’ve already bought it?

Whats the tow rating on one of those things? Theyre kinda small and seem like theyd be underpowered towing a car to LVD up those hills.

Id buy something 2 or 3 years old and let somebody else take the depreciation hit.

Considering it… It’s fucking gay, I know, but it does everything I need it to and I can get one for 13 grand

5000lbs, it’s a year old and lost 8 grand off it’s value already. Its a 4.0, basically a newer style Liberty.

ummmmm avoid that ,they suck very problematic huge mix of chrysler and benz all in all a totall clusterfuck …look for a toyota 4 runner ,tacoma or suttin like that they hold up very well high resale value and great warr

I was looking at 4runners as well, but I want to keep it as close to 10 grand as possible…

How about a Trailblazer? Resale sucks so theyre fairly cheap with moderate miles from what Ive seen.

Explorers can also be had somewhat cheap.

hmmmmmm,where are ya located ???a very close friend of mine owns a dealership in c/p and i can prolly get ya on the friends and fam plan lolol

:thumbup:thumbup

Trailblazers fall apart, my parents have one, I hate it. The only Ford I’ll but is an 87-93 notch… lol

On another note, I know the owner, general manager, and wholesale manager of albany dodge (and all of the advantage dealerships)

trailblazers are garbage they blow front diffs electrical demens break problems ,explorers arent bad but the 4.0lt in em sucks for doin work and the 4.6 is a.w.d so not so gas friendly

see mr negative approves ,i got him his truck at a smokin deal way under book

A friend of mine has a nitro slt and i was driving that thing this weekend, I was surprised, which is why I’m looking at them…

Sure did. Definately an awesome hook up and a hell of a deal.

What motor is in those? 3.7?

I really wouldnt tow a car with a v6. Ive done it before and could barely make it up hills and I was only towing a gutted '89 Celica on a dolly with an S10.

do what ya want ,but the resale sucks the car has more problems than the trailbalzers and parts are gonna be hard to get as chrysler is dicontinuing a ton of parts to stay affloat

oh and the 3.7 in em has bad head problems

have you seen my car lately??? :lol

if it does what you need it to do and it’s in your price range, who gives a shit? anyone who knows you at all will know you you’ve got a badass SRT4 in your garage if you ever need to back up your talk :lol

I’m looking at a 4.0…

I want an SUV, you think an exploder? Can I get an 07-08 for under $13k?
