No need for towing (at least right now). The power is more than enough as is for the vehicle but I can see how it would not be a very good towing vehicle for anything beyond small things.Dentist said:

I would put this in the midsize category (which gets you out of chick car territory) but the 2016 Volvo CX90 is really nice. Outside of that, the only one I would move to right now would be the new Q7...but again neither fit the small bill- but neither does your requirement for nonchickitude.

My wife's crv has its lease due in April. We are looking to go a little bigger and checked out the 2016 Pilot. I was surprised how expensive it is and also they moved away from the boxy look. Reminds me more of a van now.
Now we are looking at certified preowned options. Any 2013-2015 SUVs wth the 3rd row that standout and won't break the bank?

Just leased a Nissan Rogue for my wife this weekend - pretty nice car with all the bells and whistles - navigation, blue tooth, rear view camera, blind spot monitoring, front crash assistance (car slows if a front crash is imminent), and "all-around" camera view when backing up - basically alerts the driver if anything is moving 360 degrees around the car while you backup.

I am currently in the market for a used CR-V for my wife. What level trim, miles and year do you have?

What's the residual value on your lease? Where do you live?
Aside: My 23-year old son is a gamer and I remember introducing him to the Leeroy Jenkins video years and years after it came out. I couldn't believe he had never seen it. It would be ####### hilarious to say I bought a Honda CR-V from Leeroyyyyyyyyyyyy Jenkins!
PM me if you want. Thanks

Sorry. Just seeing this now. Residual value is $19,480 and I'm outside of Philadelphia. We are leaning towards buying it out at this point.

Thanks. I found it interesting that your lease is coming due on the exact vehicle we are looking at. If you change your mind let me know.

Like many of you I've always loved cars. With the internet there's unlimited information out there and I love to analyze. We were in the market for a used crossover SUV for my wife. After initially settling on a 2013/14 Honda CR-V, we were drawn to the extra features, aggressive styling and upgraded build of the 2016 Hyundai Tucson Limited. We found a rare used 2016 and love it.

Bought a new rogue just over a year ago and it has been good. Drove a crv but found that it felt a lot boxier and didn't like the view because dash and front end felt really long. Rogue and crv have by far the most total space of any SUVs in that price range and I felt like the rogue handled a lot more nicely in the test drive.

Picked up my dry cleaning this last weekend. It was raining. I couldn't get that the dang clothes on the hook. My pants got drenched from leaning in from the back, my back was drenched from the rain coming down on me and my fingers were sore from the stupid hooks.
Really would like to punch the genius that came up with the idea to put the hooks on the third row.
A good friend of mine has an Acadia too back in California. We were talking about it and they like theirs as well. The wife doesn't even mind the hook on the third tow. Their complaint was power. Now, I can understand lack of power in as much as @Dentistwas saying for towing. But otherwise, it has 'enough' power. I pointed out that in comparison to their BMW that has 500 horse power it may not have enough power but what can't it do for them... they didn't have an answer.

My wife just bought the BMW X3. Of course it's pricey but it's a sweet ride. Handles well, accelerates quickly and the stereo is awesome. Gets great gas mileage too.

I have a loaded 2007 with ~130,000 miles. I have freaking loved it. I bought it because it had the power/gas mileage combo that others didn't have, and was a little sporty. It's got paddle shifters (!), a 6 cyl, and gets 27-28 on the highway, 21-22 city.
Not too up on the latest models, but thumbs up from me.
Question -
I no longer has the option of waiting to buy a new car as my current car, this morning, is turning over, but won't start. I have had repeated fuel pump problems since late December, and I have to believe this is again related; in any case, my car wasn't worth much to begin with, I don't want to keep putting money into it, and I want to move on. Until yesterday, I was going to trade my car in for about $1000 as part of my new car purchase. Now, I'm not sure what to do with my car.
It's sitting in my condo parking lot, but how/where do I get it out of here, and what I do with it? Do I need to have it towed? Who would even take this car? If I do get it towed, do I need to contact my insurance company and let them know that I am removing this car (for a new car) from my policy? When I have it towed, I assume I need to remove my license plates, but I own my car (not sure where my car title actually is, and if I need it), does that need to be transferred?
Anyways, lot of questions and no answers on how to properly get rid of my current car if I'm not trading it in and would like to make this as simple as possible.

New cars - I test drove the Hyundai Santa Fe (2016 with 4K) miles that is fully loaded for about 29,500. The MSRP on the car has it for about $34K so I was somewhat surprised they were going to go down to 29K.
I think they were trying to offer me their extended warranty, but we didn't get into the cost, and the APR on this deal wasn't anything special, in fact, wasn't great. I believe it was 1.9% for 12 months, 2.9% for 32 months and 3.9% (some deal similar) for the remainder for a monthly payment of about $420.00
I went to test drive a 2016 Ford Escape - this one has 0% financing for 72 months, small rebate as well and are cheaper overall than the Santa Fe. The Escape I was looking at was 4WD, some options, but not everything I want, but I could check to see what is available. We were thinking something around $320.00 a month at about 31K.
Now, what's bothering me is that the Hyundai deal SHOULD be less money monthly - but it isn't. We were talking through the finances for a few minutes, but I made it clear I wasn't buying a new car yesterday; I assume they are pricing in their extended warranty which I would get removed, and there is the higher interest rate, but is that explaining the $100 monthly difference?

I'm looking at 2016's currently, and have to act fast - I need a new car. I plan on leaving tomorrow morning to look at a few more, but I need to make a decision as early as tomorrow. I was going to check out the Sabaru Forrester, Honda CRV and maybe one other, (Mazda, CX-5)....Any other last suggestions?
Any issue with buying a dealer car (2016 Sana Fe) with 4K miles vs. a 2016 no miles?
I was also surprised that the 2017's are pretty much fully out now and have been for few months. It's getting harder to find 2016 models, but there are still enough of them. The 2016 have more deals associated so I can save some money.
But....should I be thinking about a 2017 vs. a 2016?
My heart feels more into the Santa Fe, but any advice? Can I get them to move on that APR? I have them down to $29,500 on the car itself, but need a breakdown on how that monthly payment is being calculated (since it's higher than the Escape). I am willing to walk away and go the Escape as well, but what else can I do/leverage to get that car payment down?

We ended up extending our lease 1 month to buy time
Local dealership has a few pilots and I'm debating between two:
1. 2014 Pilot EX-L w navigation and 26,000 miles. ($32,100)
2. 2013 Pilot Touring and 35,000 miles. ($29,800).
Which should I get (or are they both over priced)?

I would say just don't let them sell you the 2016 with 4K miles as 'new'. You need to get the used pricing for that or walk. I looked into one and they said to me "Oh, this was driven by the owners wife for the 4K miles". Don't be the idiot that doesn't force them to sell as a steep discounted price. Let someone else be that idiot.
