I have a Camry which is working perfectly fine but I'm thinking of selling it and getting a used SUV for around $20,000 (I don't care to spend the money on a new vehicle even though I could).
Any ideas on the best value for my money, and what I should get? Here are my requirements:
Safe
comfortable
don't need 4WD
6 cyl.
good fuel economy
I live in the mountains so have to change elevation (300 ft. some when I go off on day trips but not daily)
There are not many used vehicles for sale privately (and there is a big savings here in AZ if you buy them privately).
I've been considering a Hyundai Sante Fe or Tucson. I have mostly driven Toyota and Honda and like Japanese vehicles however the 4Runners are $$$.
One thing I forgot to mention is I love the size of the trunk in the Camry. I spoke to Toyota and the RAV4 is not bigger than a camera inside, funny enough.
These were much more expensive where I looked, they were asking almost 30,000 for some of them. Do you think I can find a decent one with average mileage for 20,000?
As far as space goes what are your needs (passangers/luggage/ tall or long stuff?). SUV for their size can be pretty deceptively compromised in cargo room due to the wheelwells/ roof lines ect.

Thanks!
KIA, Honda Pilot, there are several good makes....You should be able to find a nearly new 6 cyl. for under $20,000.
