Hard to find one under 30k that don’t have damn near 60+ thousand miles on it though. I agree, they just higher than I can go. I’d like a vehicle with less than 30 thousand miles


BUmp it up to ~50k miles and you'll find several. There isn't a huge difference in 30k miles and 50-60k miles on a Toyota engine. You may have to sacrifice some bells and whistles if you want a more recent model.

We;ve been looking in that price range and have seen several Highlanders and a few Lexus RX 350s at around 50k miles. The Lexus's have been 2016 models, which was the last year of the old body style. Wife prefers the newer body style Lexus though, and we just haven't found the right one yet. She's picky about color, both interior and exterior.

Forester yes. A brand new Outback would be the poverty grade model. Maybe look at a CPO model


Yeah. Just stating that's it's doable. If it's not an immediate need it may be worth waiting until the 22 models come out and pick up a new 21 model at a discount and upgraded package.

Try a used CRV or RAV4.


Neither of these are SUVs, they are crossovers.

They are literally categorized as compact Sport Utility Vehicles.

Says who? The marketing folks at the manufacturer???

They are not body on frame and not available in rear wheel drive, thus they are not SUVs.

Not saying they are not good little vehicles, but they are not SUVs, sorry.

FYI Wikipedia has them both classified as crossovers.

Exactly. Because they aren’t true SUVs


If you want to call your front wheel drive, unibody vehicle an SUV to make you feel better go right ahead. Carry on.

You can die on that hill. I don't care. I'm not going to let a vehicle classification threaten my manhood. They're both great vehicles. I'd pick the Honda, myself. More interior space and probably a little better resale value.

Yea they are fairly reputable. I bought a vehicle from them about 8 years ago that was fine. I'd ask them what after market features they put in themselves, though. The car I bought had headrest TVs that I didn't know at the time was added by them after purchasing. The TVs were really the only problem I had with the vehicle.

You can get AWD CRV

But yeah. A CRV is a crossover
A Pilot is a SUV.

Both are very nice vehicles
