I'm glad I don't have to buy cars often cuz the going from dealer to dealer and having to talk with the sales people and how they do the switch off stuff just drives me NUTS!! LOL
Any way... here is the scoop......
2005 Subaru Outback (too much $$)
2005 Kia Sorento (too much $$)
2005 Kia Sportage - liked it alright
2005 Hyundai Tucson - liked it better then the Kia, basically the same...since they are made by the same company..but did not "look" as cheap!
2005 Toyota Rav4 - This one BY FAR is my fav!!
2005 Mitsubishi Outlander - decided not to buy one due to many roomers of them going out of business.
Will go back out again next Sun I think with my Sister.... I'm the driver, SHE is the negotiator...and she is really good at it... she had a few "burn on them" lines when they were talking about $$. She is rather FIRM!!
