One of the main drivers in this search for a vehicle is my wife's crazy notion that we need 3rd row seating
We are retired and it's just us two and the dogs in the house . Yes we have our oldest son and his family near by ( 3 grandchildren ) but we rarely have more than 5 in the car . But being married for 41 years this year
I know when to pick my battles
That's another reason why I want to keep the costs as reasonable as possible . Having said all that I realize a larger vehicle that has a 3rd row will " probably " be a comfortable car/truck to drive as long as your not the one in the very back seats
Sue would " like " to have a 3rd row but she agreed she doesn't " have " to have it so there is some flexibility . That opens up a huge window of vehicles that could fit the bill . One of the 2011 Volvo's I discussed earlier has been sold . The other for 8995 is still available but the Carfax shows possible odometer rollback tampering
so that one is out ! This morning I found a 2010 XC90 with a 6 and FWD with 42,000 miles and clean 2 owner Carfax they are asking 12,995 . I am getting ready to call them but I have looked at the Carfax report and all looks legit . And yes I do know the report is only as good as the info that was reported to the data base . The online pics of the car support the low mileage . If I can get 3k - 4k for the Toyota on trade value that gets me to a difference of about 9K or so which I would just pay cash and be done . If not no biggie we just keep looking
