Looking for a used AWD SUV ~$20k price point, what would you recommend? Ideally 2012 or later with under 100k miles. Reliability and low lifetime maintenance costs are number 1 priority. Plan would be to run it into the ground eventually, not resell. Third row seating is a plus but not a requirement. Live in Colorado.

Depends on what category of SUV you are looking for, but I just bought a 2017 Mazda CX-5 for my daughter for around $25,000. It has less than 50,000 miles on it. You can get the lower trims for around the price point you were looking for, or you can go a bit older.

In addition to the Mazda, we also looked at the Volkswagen Tiguan which has an optional third row, though my daughter did not want to third row. As I’m sure you know, the used car market is insane right now in terms of pricing. We bought my son a used sedan last year and it has gone up in value by probably 35 or 40%.

My family only buys those same brands.

Highlander, rx 350 or the mdx are your best bets.

Thr rx350 is a very smooth ride but if you want 3rd row Highlander than mdx for reliability and value

Yea, just go for a crv
