A vehicle advisory thread again...
I'm close to get a second hand vehicle and considering Hyundai Santa Fe 2011, Ford Edge 2009/2010 or Mitsubishi Montero 2008.
I have about usd20k to spend.
Santa Fe: saw one with 47000 km driven, but it's coming from a rent a car.
Ford Edge: saw a beautiful 2012 model 4 cilinder but it's out of my budget. I can get a 2009 within my budget, but they are all V6 and I'm afraid of the mileage / gallon.
Mitsubishi Montero: I had a 2002 Diesel that gave me lots of trouble, my wife doesn't want to see a Montero ever again but I think we were just unlucky and in mileage / gallon it's hard to beat a Montero. 2008 model is more or less what I can afford.
Could any of the experts (i'm thinking playacaribe, pelaut, others?) or non-experts comment. Or give a suggestion of a good vehicle in that price range with likewise characteristics?
