I need a SUV or a Truck with 4 doors, and under $15K and 30K mileage and year 2000 or newer. And a reliable car for the long term and average gas mileage is fine. I don't care 4wd or not. And I prefer m/t, which is why it limits many of my options. 99% of suvs and trucks are stinkin auto, it's really disappointing. So far, Jeep Liberty was the only one that met the criteria. And Xterra as well, but I hear from people that it has more of a tendency to flip over or hard to keep up in the highway when faster vehicles pass by, while the wind hits the exterior.

Have you looked at a 4Runnner? A hair over $15k according to kelly blue book.

I'm not a big fan of the Liberty myself because i could feel engine vibrations right through the steeringwheel durring the test drive. I could have gotten a bad apple though. The 4Runner is a truck based suv, so it will ride/handle like a truck. I also looked for a tacoma double cab, but they are too expensive.

Thanks, I searched the auto trader. The only ones that meet that price range is above-40-50K mileage. Lower mileages tend to be a bit expensive. And plus it's sold by owner as is, I think he wants it cash. I need a dealer probably, so I can finance it. And yeah as for dealers, it seems they're overcharging down here in South Florida.

On autotrader.com the owner wants cash but you can still get it financed thru the bank. Once your approved, the bank cuts the owner a check and you make your payments thru the bank not the previous owner.
