boostdquest89 Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Well, The ol' lady flipped her Cherokee the other day and now we are looking for a new DD for her. She came out pretty good, considering (few scrapes and bruises). I am glad she is okay but thank God the kids were not with her!!! We have 3 kids so we are looking for something with 3rd row seating but she doesn't want a mini-van. Anybody have any ideas? I have 20k to spend but would rather keep it between 10k-15k. Been looking around for a few days but figured I'd see what the car guys had to input. Oh, and if you get really board you can attach CL links from Cincinnati, Louisville or Indianapolis CL. lol Now, on with the pics! http://i672.photobucket.com/albums/vv81/boostedquest89/IMG_20140617_060256379_zps7a8620f8.jpg http://i672.photobucket.com/albums/vv81/boostedquest89/IMG_20140617_060238429_zpsb6e5e411.jpg Thanks guysChad- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viper1355 Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Damn! Glad your wife is ok. I just saw the inside of a 2014 Durango today firsthand, and it was really nice. Maybe if you can find a lightly used 2011 one, it would work. No idea how they drive though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GINASQ Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 The flex is def a unique looking vehicle to the point where I like it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoFab Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Holy crap! So glad to hear that she walked away from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasQuest Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Glad she is ok. If your set on 3rd row seating then count the Nissan Rogue out. Virtually no room for the 3rd row even for small kids and it deletes the spare tire, comes with run-flat tires instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Dang! Truck did it's job and yield itself to protect its occupants. Glad your wife is ok. I'd stick with American brands when it comes to trucks and some SUV's. Lexus and Toyota SUV's are nice and safe. But you get more bang for your buck with American brands.

chiplee Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 highlander4 runnervenza Concur. There is a gem of an SUV available right now that is going largely unnoticed. The 4.7L Toyota V8 is a bullet proof motor that can be had in certain 4Runners. Find one with Bluetooth, Nav and Leather under 20k and you have an incredible bargain.

LSQuest88 Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 (edited) I'm not sure all the ones listed above have 3rd row seating. But I agree with what Johnny wadd said. The newer suburbans or any chevy for that matter newer than 2001 with the small LS based engines can go for almost 300,000 miles with just basic maintenance. The 2001 and older ones had an issue called piston slap. Sounds bad but it wasn't a huge issue. They still ran forever even if they started doing it. I've always liked the diesel ford excursions as well. That might be getting a little too big though for everyday use lol Edited June 27, 2014 by LSQuest88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierquest Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 (edited) We just put our Cherokee up for sale and also decided for third row seating in the new ride. At first we looked at the Acadia/traverse/enclav with the bucket second row seats. But in that search we ran across an expedition with a bench middle seat. Really liked the expedition but wanted buckets. Long story short I now have a hella car payment on a new 2013 expedition. The Acadia however had tons of room inside but the one we drove just kind of felt cheap and the wife liked the expedition better. The new 2015 expeditions with have the 3.7 ecoboost at or around 375hp! That is 65hp over he 5.4 Trition v8 Edited June 27, 2014 by Hoosierquest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
