Looking for a family vehicle under $10K with either 4wd or AWD.
prefer not much over 100k or less.
I keep seeing audi A4 & A6's around 2003-ish for about 7-8 grand and want to know what are the inherent problems, how reliable they are up to 200k. Some of these are only about 80k on the clock at this price. Which is better as far as being trouble free, the turbo 4 or the v-6?
see a few 2003-2005 explorers and mountaineers, i have an expedition and mechanically can't complain, but what are some of the problems with the smaller truck, i do know they like to eat wheelbears, so i've heard.
subaru forresters, legacy, imprezza ect. N/A 2.5L cars? i've heard they have head gasket issues, but people love them in the winter, any input would be great.
Any other suggestions that fit in the 4 door, AWD/4wd, under $10k catagory would be helpful.
I'm leaning toward a CR-V but they are too dame expensive looking at $11k for a 03 with like 120,000 on the odometer is high to me. and automatic 4wd i do not like, by the time your in trouble and the 4wd kicks in it's too late.
