He was... which made 0 sense since he has the GTI already. If he wants a car for his wife he should go another route.

Resale should trump all.

The pathfinder interior doesnt sit well with me. it gives me a feeling of 5 years ago. just doesnt seem modern.

she already test drive a grand cherokee last time and said it was really more car than she wanted or needed, too many fancy options.

forester interior sucks...

always going in circles. the nightmare of my life.

Resale on the GTI is better than any new civic considering he will take a 10% hit in sales tax on no matter what he gets. Considering the time frame in mind.

That 10% on the civic (2k) + civic depreciation (1-2k) will be larger than GTI depreciation over the next 6 months

If you want power, find a V6 Equinox or Terrain. They're rockets. I can hook you up on price too.

K what about a Cherokee for her? ~10k cheaper than GC but it may be too slow?

Taxes are a constant since he'll be swapping anyway. They're keeping the GTI no matter what. The question is...what car is the next 6-month car?

the grand cherokee is about $12,000 more than an xterra. but its nice... i was looking at this new leftover 2014. only $6000 off before negotiation.

The GC looks pretty nice. One thing I can't stop laughing at is it has heated rear seats but they can't afford to put auto up/down on all four windows:laugh:

So the Pathfinder interior sucks which was originally in Infiniti's. Okay, but somehow you liked the crackerbox interior of an Xterra?

I have always liked GMC's. Doubt she does tho. wtf.. every new terrain on my local dealer lot is a 4 cylinder..

the Forester XT 2.0 looks decent if we can get past the interior. 250hp/258tq stock. cobb it for another 20-30 and it would be decent. but i wonder if that CVT would ruin it even when chipped. dammit.. why cant it have a touch screen like most other modern cars.

I dislike Nissan. Their styling is so dated and retarded, on everything.
