"With a new baby, we will probably be looking for something bigger within a year or two." Thanks to the miracle of cellular reproduction, barring some very rare genetic defect of disease, rest assured the imp will increase in size and, the sooner you teach the mini-human to spit it will leave behind that messy drooling stage.

MAN DAMN... What I WOULDN'T GIVE.. for a ACCORD wagon from 92... Heck.. when the car passed.. I was searching around for another one... driving my wife's car for a bit... Found one at a Local Saturn shop.. for 2g, car didn't look like in the best of conditions. Body looked decent, shocks were average, miles was 240k, my wife looked at me as if I was OUT OF MY MIND. Man.. Id love an Accord wagon.

MaintenanceCosts Poorly packaged, oddly proportioned small CUV with an unrefined hybrid powertrain and a luxury-market price? Who wouldn't want it?
MaintenanceCosts Who knows whether it rides or handles acceptably or whether it chews up a set of tires in 5000 miles, but we definitely know it has a "mature stance."Sounds like JUST the kind of previous owner you'd want…
28-Cars-Later Nissan will be very fortunate to not be in the Japanese equivalent of Chapter 11 reorganization over the next 36 months, "getting rolling" is a luxury (also, I see what you did there).
MaintenanceCosts RAM! RAM! RAM! ...... the child in the crosswalk that you can't see over the hood of this factory-lifted beast.
3-On-The-Tree Yes all the Older Land Cruiser’s and samurai’s have gone up here as well. I’ve taken both vehicle ps on some pretty rough roads exploring old mine shafts etc. I bought mine right before I deployed back in 08 and got it for $4000 and also bought another that is non running for parts, got a complete engine, drive train. The mice love it unfortunately.
