Puttting my SQ5 up for sale this weekend, getting something fun that is rwd...
still want awd/4wd for winter/mountains/etc. What pops in your head for ~15k range? Has to be 4 door.
- used Tacoma? (would be really used, i know...)
- one of those Lexus that snake eater is always talking about?
- 4runner? (again, would be really used)
just want something that is good in shit weather that doesn't look like a huge POS.
07-11 JKU.
If you can, I'd up your budget a few grand and get a '12+JKU

I have one of those Snake Eater Lexus (GX470) and it really is a great truck, built well but is a gas hog FYI. Also timing belt is still a thing every 90k-100k. They are super capable though and drive really smooth. Perfect for the kiddo too when needed
Used Colorado/Canyon? They seem to be doing better than even the new Taco's in the mag comparison tests and will be better bang for the buck used.
i've had a jeep - never again.Originally Posted by DANSBIRD
yea, i did think about those when i thought of a Tacoma....
...plus i like the looks of them still, they have aged well. how much and how many miles was yours?
Paid $11.5k with 130k on an 07 that had the timing belt done at Lexus at 98k
Mine has the Nav package and all that too, so all the bells and whistles. I hear some hate the Nav package as it is a touch screen for all systems (A/C, Radio, Nav, Maintenance, etc) but personally I like it.
Only thing to look for since the special warranty is expired is check the dash. They have that tacky or cracked dash on them. Mine has it but super minor.
All around I am happy with it, agree it has aged well (interior too), and they seem to be rather built proof overall. Just a good overall truck.

I do like the land cruisers and Lexus trucks. They are nice.
Newest Silverado or f150 you can afford.
That's a solid idea. I think the market has turned on them and they seem to be maintaining or increasing in price now so I doubt you could really lose money on one.
This
damn, 11k, ok, ok!
Details on SQ5?
WTF is a JKU?
JK Unlimited (4-Door)
- 2016, comes with 21inch wheels/tired + 19in snow tires/wheels.
- stage 1.5 tune, done by 303 motorsports, ~420-440hp? who knows really...
- white/black interior, diamond stitching in seats
- 50k miles.
Way over priced for what they are.
Friends with each of these & both love them. Friend with the Lexus has it modded for his overland adventures.

Think you posted his before. I love it but mine will stay stock.
Mine is that same color as well.
made this thread and now my facebook feed is full of KBB "best car under X amount" ads.
crazy

Cool rigs, even stock
I'm not even gunna say it
The GX470 option is a great one for sure. If you need/want a truck, then consider an Avalanche. Full size 4 door built on the Suburban chassis so it rides great and has the utility of the bed if you need it.
You’ll just post the video
I do miss my Cadi EXT at times. Hate that idea is long gone.
the cadi is also AWD if there is interest from Tater in that.
Whatchu getting that's rwd and fun? Hmmmmmmmmm??
Since I don't have to worry about driving it in shit weather, I want a stick.
Everyday I drive by a chev dealership and the other day they had a matte grey Zl1 Camaro and it was F'n hot. I wouldn't get the a Zl1, but def want whatever color of grey that was.
6th gen Camaros are really fun cars.
with a good wheel/tire combo, they look fantastic.6th gen Camaros are really fun cars.
surprised you are considering an american car
either way
Snakeeater- are the 3rd gen LX's just as good (even the late models?) Or do you have to get a 2nd gen for it to be bulletproof?
Oh my.
you cant take that off-roading!Oh my.
If I had that I wouldn't be going off roading you jagaloon!
The 80, 100 and 200 series are all bullet proof
It just comes down to how far offroad you plan on going
If your main purpose is hitting the trails, go with the 80
Solid axles and front/center/rear locking diffs make it unstoppabble
The 100 series gives you a little more comfort and V8 power, but you get an IFS and lose the front locker
Still a very capable rig, but with better road manners
I personally prefer the GX470 over the LX470 as it has the same engine/drivetrain, but in a smaller package that still seats 7
The 200 series gives you even more comfort, space and power, but is a bit too fancy for me to go wheeling with
Ah yes- the GX does look much better with lift and tires. Not sure I was thinking of LX; just didn't realize they were different I think.
then why get a awd/fwd?
Because that is how they come standard.
so forcing buyers into something they dont need.

sure.
I will never use the 4x4 on my GX but I wanted a GX, so guess what I have now?......4x4.
Should I have not bought it though since it comes standard with something I wouldn't ever be using?
Volvo xc60 T6, R design if possible.
They came with a 3L inline 6 turbo. Super reliable, safe and 4wd.
The years were 2010-2017 I think. The r design has 330 HP and 360 lbft.
I'm looking for a R with low milage right now.

same size as my Audi, going to enjoy more room in the Lexus GX. I'm sold, that is for sure what i'm getting.
Lexus has no balls. Why not a xc90? It doesn't get the turbo engine but it's bigger than the sq5.
My parents have a '16 xc60 with the super & turbocharged 4cyl. Zippy for what it is & 300hp.
Throwing this one out there just to get a reaction
AWD, more space than any SUV, can be had for well under your budget, better gas mileage than the GX, and the La-Z-Boy seats in the Limited models are just tits
not a volvo fan
snake eater - wtf is that thing? i'm slightly interested.
a f'n Sienna? The one you posted looks cool, was thinking they came like that, lol. no f'n way.
3rd Gen Sienna with a lift kit
https://www.journeysoffroad.com/siennaliftkits.html
I would drive that Sienna
I would be driven in that sienna
Any chance of buying a Subaru?
