> No offense, but the Vue and Escape/mariners are shit boxes and won’t be worth anything once you’re ready to unload it. Look how well you did with your Tacoma, you’ll NEVER do that with an American car, EVER. I HAD to buy a new CR-V because the price on a used one was so crazy it didn’t make any sense not to. The money will always be there on a used one no matter how many body styles ago the model is.

Boom. Right there.

Same goes for used German small SUVs. While they may be very nice, they depreciate like crazy and once out of warranty…good luck unless you have the dough to keep up on their maintenance. X3, Q5, GLK, Toureg… Nice vehicles but I’d snag a brand new CRV or Toyota small SUV, if I were in the market, over any of those used(for probably similar prices). Especially if its for my girlfriend/fiancé/wife, I’d want her in something as reliable as possible.
