I think I have narrowed he search for a new car down to 4 models.
First, the Nissan Murano. It fits my need for being a SUV type vehicle, but drives like a car. I wouldn’t consider this one, but Andy speaks very highly of it. I admit that they look cool. I’m just not crazy about the name,
Second, the Lexus RX400h. This was my first choice, but there is no Lexus dealer within 2 hours of my new place. That would be a bit annoying for maintenance. I do like the fact that it drives like a car, and it’s a hybrid, so I feel a little less guilty with a SUV.
Third, Volvo SUV. It’s a bit of a soccer mom car, but it’s safe, and it’s got some great features. Although it’s a bit big for what I was looking for.
Fourth, the BMW X5. I admit this would be a vanity purchase. It’s just so nice. Incredible power, comfortable, and ever feature I could really want. Of course it’s also $80k. I’m not incredibly price conscious on this, but that may be a bit much. But there is always the idea of leasing†¦.
The next step is to go take these for test drives.
