Cheaper but reliable SUV/Minivan that can handle long drives
Currently have a 2020 kicks that my brother crashed and is too expensive to get proper repairs on. I've done what I can at home to fix it up so it's driveable but I really just want a 'fresh off the lot' car with a much cleaner history on it. I'm still upside…
Currently have a 2020 kicks that my brother crashed and is too expensive to get proper repairs on. I've done what I can at home to fix it up so it's driveable but I really just want a 'fresh off the lot' car with a much cleaner history on it. I'm still upside down on my loan so it'll have to be a trade in with a new loan taken out. Yeah, very financially stupid but I just gotta power through however I can. Looking for a larger car (same size as the kicks ish) that can handle long drives for work. I can work on some pretty heavy repairs on a car, so it's a plus to have one that has cheaper parts market overall. I'm fine with it being cheap/having high mileage, the biggest thing is I don't know what brands/car models are reliable enough that if I did get one with 200k+ miles on it, it wouldn't just explode! Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction for brands/models, thanks

if you're already upside down on the loan trading in for another fresh car is just digging the hole deeper, not powering through. you want cheap and reliable with 200k+ miles that won't explode, look at older toyota siennas or honda pilots. parts everywhere and they eat highway miles like nothing
Yeah, it sucks that I've gotten to this point. I'm able to pay down the loan fine but it's feeling like a sinking ship doing so in a car that's falling apart fast, so for the sake of having something I feel safer in I'm fine 'restarting' with a bigger loan. I'm trying to stay positive and remind myself that I'm not the only person in the world that's had trash financial issues in their 20s hah. Thank you for the suggestion!
Sienna or odyssey.
Sienna for me! They definitely are made to eat up miles and my 2011 has 200K on it and I drive the crap out of it but easy.
How cheap are we talking?
Mazda5. A literal minivan.
