Trying to find a car for my god sons mother as her DD, fun to drive and a 3rd pedal need not apply.
Figured I could get some good ideas from you guys.
Ok so here are some stipulations:
Reliable/easy to maintain/cheap parts
Year: I am gonna say 06 or newer
Price: $18k, lower the better
Mileage: Reasonable for the car/make
Size: Wagon or Small/Medium SUV
MPG: Doesn't need to get 40mpg, but in the 20s would be stellar.
Creature comforts: Leather, heated seats arent must haves but nice. I am assuming if its an SUV AWD/4WD is a plus as well.
Now this car doesn't need to tow, doesn't need to go fast, doesn't need to be fun to drive. Size is not negotiable, so no "She doesn't need an SUV,tell her to buy a miata or a civic coupe".
If it helps, im trying to save her from buying a used Ford Freestyle, which she likes, for some reason????
Thoughts?
