Lux Truck/Car Choices?
Hey
My dad is looking to get a used luxury truck for around 25,000.
he just might get a car too, but he really wants a SUV.
what would you guys suggest?
must be 2000 or newer
as low km's as possible (must be under 80k)
absolutely no acura mdx, he doesnt like the idea of driving a honda
infiniti QX4 is on the top of the list right now

personally my favourite newer SUV is one of those K1500 Yukon Denali XL's, they get something like 11-12 mpg city tho

My friend's parents have a Volvo XC90. They are pretty good, the look grows on you. Depending which year you are looking at there is an i5, v6 and v8 (twin-turbo!).
Also, the Lexus RX is alright too.

- mercedes m class is out cuz its so butt ugly and a unrelaible peice of **** that cant hold its value
- bmw x5 is also very unreliable, but cost too much for him
- he wont do domestics anymore
- he thinks the murano is too ugly
- toyota turns him off, hes rather pay extra cash for the same truck and a lexus badge lol
ok lol
he upped his budget cuz he cant get **** for 25k lol
were looking into a rx330 demo model, and since he can claim upto 800/mo lease, we will most likely find a used 04 rx330 or maybe a demo or somehting like that. dunno just yet.
but now that i finally convinced him to check out the rx330, he loves that thing

do you realize most of those would actually be built in north america?
why discount all domestics as one? they vary from one model to the next.
get a used escalade if you want presige. a "japanese" suv doesnt offer any prestige

but he "needs" one because every other damn real estate agent in his office has one and he cant have a car which is "crappier" than a SUV
