Porsche cayenne seats?

For around 10 thousand dollars, what 2001-2005 ml320/430, murano sl, xc90, cayenne, touareg, infiniti fx35 ?

• I am in the process of searching for a new car. i have spent countless hours browsing cars on craigslist and reading car reviews. i love to view all sorts of cars from audi a4 convertibles to large suvs and old muscle cars. but realistically i want a mid size Not gas-guzzling luxury suv preferrably that seats 7. which would have the advantages of cheaper insurance and maintenance and parts when they do break and need new parts. I know it would be very hard to find a porsche cayenne this cheap but why not dream and try to find the best deal. i was set on a ml430 seater, but keep hearing more about the unreliability. Is this too much to overcome? I am now thinking i will get a volvo xc90 most likely as they are solid, not terrible on gas, sit 7 and nice inside. Btw i want a car with not more then 120k miles. if it was a great deal and a well maintenanced car i would think of getting one with some more though. hopefully around 90-105k miles i will also considers others including bmw x5 although im not a huge fan, toyot highlander if it has heated leather seats, and others. thank you for the help. I want advice from professionals, or simply owners of these cars. not from others who have just read online, if you know a friend who hates their car this would also be appreciated to hear about. Thanks! Isaac

• Answer:

  You won't find what you are looking for in your price range. Every SUV you listed is a high end luxury brand and your price point is in the Chevy and Dodge range. The average price of a 2001 - 2005 with less than 100k miles is: M-B M Class - $13,500 Murano - $13,800 Cayenne - $22,400 Touareg - $14,900 FX35 - $18,300 Xc90 - $13,400 Ford Explorer - $9900 KIA Sorrento - $9850 You are going to have to raise your price range or lower your standards.
