Requirements as follows:


1) Less than $80K
2) New OR Certified Pre-owned is fine (if less than 20,000 miles)
3) Does NOT need to be a 7-seater, a 5-seater is fine
4) Reliable (I know that's tough, but I prefer something where you don't need to take it to the dealer for stupid stuff randomly). This vehicle will be seeing at most about 15,000 miles a year if purchased.
5) Ok MPG (Again, another tough one to follow, but would like to see if it can get over 20 MPG on the highway).

These are some of the ones I was interested in seeing. What are your guys' opinions? What would you get and why? If any current owners of the following can chime in and give me a rundown of their service and maintenance and reliability of any of the vehicles, that would be much appreciated.

1) Certified pre-owned Porsche Cayenne GTS
2) Certified pre-owned Range Rover Sport Supercharged or Range Rover full-size
3) Jeep SRT (already a couple in my area.... don't really wanna follow the crowd on this one)
4) BMW X5M
5) BMW X6M
6) Lexus GX460
7) AUDI q7
8) 2013/2014 Mercedes GL450 (previous lease was a 2012 GL450... don't really want to go Merc again but if we have to I guess it wouldn't hurt lol )


Any suggestions? Thanks guys!

The ones that really go down in prices are the C-class, CLA, GLK, and others that are under the $50k. When the last gen c-class came out you could pick one up here in B.C for around or under the $50k, I would see the c-classes everywhere, same with the GLKs. Mercedes used to be for the upper class, now anyone with a 9-5 job, and who can afford to spend a few hundred a month on a lease...sadly same can;t be said when it comes to repairs.

Thats another thing, MB, the quality has gone down hill (like most car brands).

I just wanna chime in on the suvs. I've had my jeep srt for about 3 days now and love the damn thing worth every penny. Not sure how the X5M, X6M, porsche cayenne, RR, and other high end sport suvs are, but.....My main complaint is the vehicle just feels small, the cargo i'm pretty sure is smaller then my ML, the rear cover that you pull to cover whats in the back cargo is low, the compartment on the side doors is really near I can barely put my hand in and I got small hands (sad I know), centre console shares spaces with a CD player which I think is the dumbest, but I guess thats the sport feel. The touch screen and gauge is fantastic.




Thats the other one, the 3 series, i've been seeing a lot them in the last few years.
