We're still in an indecision phase of what to replace the Kia with. I'll open it up to you jackals for suggestions.
Only hard requirements:
-2 Pedals, she will not drive a standard. Full stop.
-Mostly-done-depreciating
-Cool factor
~10k budget or less. Could be flexible for the perfect car
Only serious considerations so far have been 4th Gen 4runner, which she would want in Limited trim because apparently she hates cloth seats. It's tricky but not impossible to find one around the 10k mark, mostly because most of the Limiteds were also V8s.
I have a huge thing for the UZJ100 Land Cruiser but finding one with less than 250k miles for under 10k is pretty damn difficult. Not impossible, but it's still a tough order to fill.
3rd Gen 4runner is out, I still haven't sat in one but literally everyone complains about the legroom, and everyone doing the complaining is a few inches shorter than me, so it's gonna be a no-go.
She is stuck on the idea of another 540i, but I still get night terrors remembering the maintenance required for our old one. I would probably try to push her in the direction of an E46 330i Sport Steptronic and I dunno, find some cool shit to bolt onto it like a set of wheels and an exhaust to help with the cool-ness.
