The M5 is great, but its too nice to drive in the winter.
Plus, my commute is going to increase from 38 to 56 miles a day. Keeping the thirsty beast full will make my wallet cry.
I would like something in decent shape, comfortable, fuel efficient, fun, light and large-ish. I’m thinking a small wagon or small SUV.
I need it in the next 2 months.
No sedans (have one), no trucks (they don’t have enough cabin space and are rarely cheap and good).
My budget is 2000. Its a little flexible, but cheaper is gooder.
I’m thinking of a pre-2000 RAV4. What do you think? Any other ideas?
UPDATE: I just realized that I sorta want a daily / winter car.
And I want it to be nice.
So $2000 is a really small budget for a picky fucker such as myself....Got any other ideas?
I guess I could get rid of the beater after winter and think about what to do for a daily...

When my M3 was my daily, I scooped up a 96 explorer limited for $2600 and it was perfect. It was on transmission #3 when I bought it, so I figured I wouldn’t have another issue for the foreseeable future and I didn’t. I sold it the following winter to fund a snowboarding trip, I’d probably still have it otherwise.

a Second Gen explorer seems like it would be right up your alley

Suzuki Aerio? Nissan X-Trail? Whatever SAAB wagon is cleanest for $2k?

I think they fall in the realm of "if you have to ask...".. I think the laters ones can get in to 20s. But they can do this whilst going over everything, and costing like $2000, whilst running for eternity.

I already have an E39 M5.
As much as I like them, I want variety.
