What were her needs from a technical perspective? First of all, the Highlnader is not an SUV. You might get away with calling it a "Crossover That's what it's marketed as. Two or 4WD, but around here they run 5-1 in favor of AWD. On the Toyota webpage it is in the SUV section, but they don't have a crossover section. At the dealers we looked at they had plenty of 2WD or AWD (seemed to be more 2WD than AWD). My Mother lives in a relatively flat area, it snows no more than a few days a year, and she has no need to go on bad dirt roads. Her Freestyle was AWD, but I don't think she knew or cared and I saw no reason to pay extra for AWD for the new Highlander. If things are bad enough that 4WD is required, she still has my Dad's '99 4WD Ranger available. Ed Having the Ranger, why does she need to have TWO vehicles? My brother has 7 vehicles. I have know people with many more. heck I have three rangers with out counting anyother of my other stuff. KB Little wonder that consumer debt is at an all time high and the savings rate is at an all time low. Does anyone here know what FRUGAL means? Rebuilding old cars is an industrious endevor. No question about it. Far too many fools just dump a vehicle after 2 to 4 years, literally throwing away tens of thousands of dollars in depreciation. Yeah, he has 1 failry new Hyundai, the others range from 49 to 35 years old. All American Motors Rambler Classics/Ambassador/Marlin. AMC product. Hmm, you'll have enough to keep you busy until the 22nd century. Actually, some of the best stuff out there. Ecclectic, and interesting. |
not?
