Sadly, the GF got t-boned by someone in her Yaris and it's totaled...We bought it new in 08, with 0 miles, now it's got 4000 some, and is totaled 🙁.
She is fine though, just a little sore. We want to get a SUV this time, specifically thinking 04-06 Trail Blazers or Jeep Cherokee/Liberty? We do not want something huge like a suburban because she parks on the street at our condo.
things it needs is to be able to have a dog block dealio in the rear, so we can put our dogs in the trunk and not have them jump up front, that's huge! We take our dog everywhere...we'd also like V6, that can tow at least 1 ton...we got a boat we'll tow, and a few sleds next winter.
AWD/4WD options must be available too. Mileage is not a huge concern, as her work is 1-2 miles away...as you can see, over a year old, she only has 4k miles on her Yaris.
i have a friend who works at a chevy/pontiac/gmc/cadallac dealership, so we can get anything brand new at cost + a few hundred bucks through him....ro even a steal on something used.
Any inputs on the TrailBlazers/Jeeps is appreciated, or even something else we should look at. We are going to do a bunch of test driving after she feels comfortable driving again. (little shook up).
Let me add we are trying to stay around 10k-13k
EDIT :
only 4k on the Yaris...
pics of the yaris and the silly PT Cruiser
That is where they ended up...she was going left, she got spun around almost a full 180...yikes, she was at a dead stop too...air bags weren't deployed on either car.
but hey, at least there's one less PT Cruiser on the road ^_^
