Or, get two smart cars and go around parking them in one parking stall.  really just out there sticking it to the man.

They sell build about 200k Jeep Wranglers a year.  The Bronco has 190k currently reserved and nobody has actually seen one in person yet.
actually saw a Blue 4 door Bronco crossing Rabbit Ears Pass on the way to Steamboat yesterday - it looked smaller than a 4 door Wrangler

Bronco Sport.  The full size Broncos won’t be seen anywhere until next month.

I think I'm going to get one of those new 3 row grand cherokees this spring. unless they look stupid in person.

I'm not a Jeep brand guy but when I saw the Grand Cherokee L I was pretty impressed.  It's the size I'm going after.  Seems to have luxury features and a pretty decent towing package. 

Looks pretty hot.

I like those a lot and drove one. My feeling after doing so was that I liked it a lot for me not having any kids. Felt like that interior would be completely trashed by muddy baseball shoes and wet swimsuits and stuff. Same with the Q7. I assume this Jeep will be more fit for that stuff. mrs. dave's comment was something like "it seems too nice for what our kids are going to do to it".

The SteveDave's of the world should be looking at slightly used luxury vehicles.

I just picked up a 2007 Lexus ES 350 for $8,500 cash.  It had 26K miles on it.

Am also jealous. Pretty amazing to find a 13yo car with only 26K miles. Little old lady who kept it in her garage all the time?

It's prolly a Camry that they slapped Lexus emblems on, and rolled back the odometer.  Haha

i mean.  it's a lexus es 350. what are the chances that the previous owner isn't a 90 year old grandma, is less than zero possible in this case?

The es 350 is pretty common family car in Joco.  My guess is that the LS would be a more likely old lady car....husband dies and she just keeps driving it to church/temple, etc.

In the late 80's my dad bought a 1964 Chevy Belair from an old lady in Lyndon KS, which had 50,000 miles on it and we thought was pretty amazing at the time.

CarFax indicates family inheritance and quick trade.

Except for a scratch on the back bumper (appt next week) and some road rash on the wheels (deciding between local refurb or just ordering refurb'd wheels) car is in perfect condition.

Very jealous.  I would buy that car.
