Which suv can i buy for under $12,000??

Question

i have 12 grnd and i need to buy a good suv ... pls give suggestions , im ready to buy used

Answer 1

For 12 thousand dollars you can have your pick. Just dont get ripped off,always bring a good mechanic with you and always take the suv to the shop and have it checked and usually used car sales are rip offs I know because I used to work for some so look in the paper every early sat and sun and be there first because the first one there wins and if you do that you should get a great suv under 6 thousand dollars but just have patience and dont get in a hurry and wait for the best buy,believe me someone will put in the paper a cheap price for a suv because they burn gas like a hummer

Answer 2

It depends on what you needs... For $12k, you can't get a new SUV, but there are a lot of choices at used car market.

I perfer Japanese car as most people said they last forever. Whether it is ture not, I got no idea. But I drive my uncle's Chysler, and really don't like it much, so I stick with Japapese. I just got my 05 Acura MDX for 15.5k, it was a great car.

When I search my car, here are the things I found.

Toyota Rav4 (Honda CRV) - Great gas per mile as a SUV - Crossover, Rooming is good if we put 4 adults there. 5 adults is crowded. I need a car that allows me fits 7, so this was not in my list, but I tried this out with my cousin's Rav4.

Honda Pilot - This is what I originally looking at. 3rd row seat is standard. AWD is stardard (Not sure the last models, but 05 above is standard.) 17/22 mpg that fits my requirement prefectly. (With your budget, you can get a 03/04 Pilot easily.) Rooming is good for 5, but 3rd is crowd with very few cargo space left.

Acura MDX - This is the luxcury version of Honda Pilot. Same that it has 3rd seat and AWD as standand, same mpg. With the high gas price and slow economic, this car's price isn't that much different than a pilot, so my final decision is on 05 MDX - off lease car. (You can get a 03 MDX with 70k miles basic model for about $12k, but 05 is at a better deal now as there are tons of off-lease cars. )

Well... all 3 cars are Crossover. They are great, but they are not a real SUV truck based car - good to save gas, but if you need to load heavy things, they won't be too good. MDX's max load is about 1100 lbs from the user manual... If you seats 5, you doesn't have too much load to allow towing left.
