I can see I’m a mere bottom feeder on this thread. We sold a 20 yr. old Camry to a jobless patriot and just bought a 2009 Honda Accord for 4K-great car cheap with 135K miles. Needs a rear brake job.
We did consider a sports utility vehicle but my husband thinks they ride rougher than a sedan for long trips.
We also have a 2000 Jeep Cherokee
a 20 year old GMC box van (no AC/heat)- rebuilt trans
and a TDI Diesel VW Passat 2006
We stay busy with auto mechanics around here...LOL
We’ve got an’11 GMC 1500, an ‘01 Dodge 2500 for plowing, and an ‘07 Accord for the wife and finally, for a daily driver for me, a ‘13 Focus hatchback. I actually like the Focus. It’s hard to get into, but it is fun to drive.
