Hey All. I'm new here. I've been searching for a car that will accommodate my family (three kids) and my wife. We narrowed it down to an Armada or QX56 which we really like but is outside our price range. Here is a current offer we have that I'm strongly considering but can't help but feel like I'd be settling so that is where the advice from you all is needed:
2007 Armada SE
118,000 miles (car came from Georgia)
2 accidents listed on Carfax but I'm told they were minor... Not sure about that
2 wheel drive
No upgrades at all but cloth interior and everything else looks great.
Total cost with NYC tax and tags is $13,600. I believe this includes a Lifetime Powertrain Warranty. That is the "cash" price. The financing price would have been a couple of thousand more.
Does this sound like a good deal? Living in NY, I'd prefer a 4 wheel drive. Our budget was $13K max so we would be extending ourselves a bit. I'd be find with a 2006 and really wanted a sunroof but not really finding anything when adding tax to the prices out there.
Also, I'm mechanically inclined but I need something low maintenance. We had an offer to buy a 2006 LR3 for less than the Armada and while I really like the LR3, I know I wouldn't be able to keep up with the maintenance costs.
