thegunsmith2506 Report post Posted April 24 Wife and I were looking for about the same thing for a couple of months. We decided to wait a little longer before we buy something. This seemed like a good deal for what we were finding. I don't know anything about it or the seller. Just passing along the ad. https://flagstaff.craigslist.org/cto/d/flagstaff-2019-subaru-crosstrek-limited/7736295269.html 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you for the thought. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crazymonkey Report post Posted April 25 Watch the newer Honda models they seem to have alot of issues with the 4 cylinder motor recently. Lots of fuel in oil issues and blowing head gaskets . Seems I read it started with the direct injection motors. There's no real fix so there recommending shorter oil change intervals as the fuel is thinning the oil causing undue wear and over full oil issues. Just a fyi.

knothead Report post Posted April 25 I would consider the Lexus RX models such as RX350 & RX400 in your searches. Very well made vehicles. Good Luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good Luck Yes, but probably a little nicer than she wants and they run in Premium fuel. Repairs are much more because of the name. But they are very nice. My mother had one that I was supposed to get, but my oldest brother cobbed it and it wasn't worth the fight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The new Toyotas can be a nightmare. My little chevy commuter car has to go to the dealer just to change the transmission fluid. Some of the SUV's we looked at I couldn't even put a battery in. Hope you find her something that works good for her. I got pretty frustrated shopping the last few months and just took a break. One of the trucks we looked at sold private party for 7k over KBB. We offered high KBB and they wouldn't even counter offer. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed if you want to not worry about repairs you might end up just buying a new one that's hopefully under warranty while she's out there. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

New and used prices really were not too far apart from what we were seeing. I am sure all the taxes and fees add up on a new car, but it might be worth it.
