Used medium car or suv

I test drove an 2011 Dodge Durango 3.6L V6. Had around 78,000 miles, and although the it's more than I want to spend, at $17,500, I think it's doable. Wife is going to test drive it Saturday, and we will see. I think it's perhaps the most versatile choice for us.

Look a the Lambda platform (GMC Acadia, Chevrolet Traverse, and Buick Enclave) for a Durango sized SUV (3 rows of seats) or a Theta platform, (Pontiac Torrent, Saturn Vue, Suzuki XL7, GMC Terrain, Cadillac SRX) for a smaller one (some don't have a 3rd row)).

On the import side, you might look at the Hyundai Veracruz(3rd row), Santa Fe (no 3rd row) or the Volvo XC90 (3rd row).

My wife has had a Durango for about a year now and is very happy with it. Her only complaint is she didn't get the Hemi. Not that the car lacks power but she misses her Hemi. In fact I'm out of town this week and she's been driving my 1500 with Hemi and is threatening to not give it back.

We bought the Durango. It was a bit more than we wanted to spend, but wife loves it. It was $17,500 for 2012 Durango with 78,000 miles. Factory tow package, fairly basic but nice interior. 3.6L V6
