Trying to Find my boss a new SUV

**EmoGti2.0** · 10-05-2012 11:21 AM

Right now she has a 2007 Mitsubishi Endeavor and she was told she would get 12k for it. She owes nothing on the car, but its been starting to cost her money so shes looking for a new ride.

She wants to stay with an SUV, nothing smaller then a 4 Runner.

Shes also trying to keep her payment under 500. Come on TCL show me what her options are and what the best options are.

Making subordinates find my next car...LIKE A BOSS!!!

**Air-over-water** · 10-05-2012 11:23 AM

Buy or lease?

**EmoGti2.0** · 10-05-2012 11:29 AM

A Buy

**EmoGti2.0** · 10-05-2012 12:27 PM

She will not lease at all

**BostonB6** · 10-05-2012 01:38 PM

So, $27k financed for 60 mos is just under $500/mo. Add in a $12k trade and you're looking at a max price of $39k or so.

Does your boss have any requirements other than a max $500/mo payment? There are a LOT of SUV's in that price range. To name a few:

Acura RDX
Audi Q3
BMW X1
BMW X3
Chevrolet Traverse
Dodge Durango
Ford Edge
Ford Escape
Ford Explorer
GMC Acadia
GMC Terrain
Honda Pilot
Hyundai Veracruz
Jeep Grand Cherokee
Mazda CX-9
Nissan Murano
Nissan Pathfinder
Nissan Xterra
Subaru Tribeca
Toyota 4Runner
Toyota Highlander
Volvo XC60
Volkswagen Tiguan

It needs to be at least the size of a 4 Runner or Q7 she would love 7 seats but 5 will be fine.

She loves to sit up high

**NoXenons** · 10-05-2012 02:53 PM

So get a 4runner

Why buy something bigger than you need?

**BostonB6** · 10-05-2012 04:17 PM

Q7 is a lot bigger than a 4Runner and you're not buying a new one for her price range. I assume that she's only looking for new cars.

**EmoGti2.0** · 10-05-2012 06:01 PM

yes only new cars, or slightly used. i mean 10k or less

**SlowMotion** · 10-05-2012 06:10 PM

How about a 4runner and be done with it?

Tapatalk 2!

**BRealistic** · 10-05-2012 07:00 PM

If all wheel drive needed- Mazda CX9 Sport AWD.
It is right at $30k street price and has 0% for 60 months- making it $500 a month.
If she drives it she will love it (sports car compared to her Mitsu SUV).

**EmoGti2.0** · 10-07-2012 05:43 PM

"We" are test driving? I guess this is more of an friend-boss than a boss-boss? Interesting relationship.

CX-9 and a GMC Acadia are great test drive thoughts if 7 seats is preferred. Technically they're a size class up from a 4runner though.

yeah, if there is a mrs. here...how does she feel about that?

**above8k** · 10-07-2012 06:16 PM

Honda Pilot
Dodge Durango
Toyota Sequoia
Ford Flex

**Live-Wire** · 10-07-2012 07:45 PM

I've heard very good things about the latest Grand Cherokee, and they look great inside/out.

**Klim18** · 10-07-2012 07:51 PM

It would be funny if whatever you recommend she is gonna buy and then after a few month blame you in case she didn't like it... be careful.

Lol Wut? My father has 07 Outlander V6 and that car is probably the most reliable car I have ever found in my life. Can't believe Endeavor would be less reliable.

Acadia, maybe an Acadia Denali if the price is right

**dieselraver** · 10-07-2012 09:06 PM

OP hasn't responded. he may have jumped ship due to affair bizness.

I'm a fan of the Lambdas
'13 Acadia

'13 Enclave

'13 Traverse

**woofster** · 10-07-2012 10:10 PM

Is your boss the owner of the company? If so, it certainly makes more sense for her to lease.

But the real question here is: Why are you test driving cars with her?! Isn't that her husband/boyfriend's job?

**roccostud** · 10-08-2012 12:11 AM

Explorer

she should probably buy the one that she likes to drive

Lol sorry guys got busy at work, the boss is actually my dad's girlfriend so it's definitely odd.

Though as much as would love to see her in a tourag they are just too expensive. So I ask the professionals here at TCL

Your payments are off.

$20/$1,000
$200/$10,000

when financed over 60 months.

So, you are talking right around a $36k vehicle before ttl (assuming the state you are in gives you tax breaks with trade-in)

Lots of choices.

Lambda triplets work very well
