Compact to Mid Size SUV Recommendations - $50K - $60K budget

Definitely a buy in cash, drive until the wheels fall off situation. Looking to purchase for my dad. Leaning towards a Japanese car. Just not sure which to go with.

What about Lexus rx 350? Someone got a good deal in NY

We have had a couple CRVs in the family…rock solid for several years.

Who? And where? I need to find them and get more info lol

Genesis GV70 would be a good choice… best looking midsize SUV out there… also has the best warranty coverage…

5 yr/60,000 mi basic, 10 yr/100,000 mi powertrain…

Not to jump onto op thread but ive always wanted a Hyundai but im scared it might get stolen

Genesis dealership experience is not great (generally speaking) since many are next to their Hyundai counterparts. Hyundai/Genesis are clients of my company and we get their employee pricing. I went to my local Genesis dealer about a year ago, mentioned the vendor relationship and they basically blew us off not even letting us test drive the GV suvs.

The warranties are also hit or miss for the same reasons.

They’ve got beautiful cars but need to get that brand experience separated out.

Same experience at Genesis and they wanted to charge me more for the GV80 then a loaded X3 on a lease. So yeah… lol

WTF??? That’s awful. :stuck_out_tongue:

That’s crazy, no wonder there’s not much on the streets.

the Venza are being discontinued? My uncle was looking at one in socal and they only gave him $1K off msrp. What kind of discounts are you seeing and where in socal?

Yes.

Which trim is your uncle looking at? The better deals (at least from one dealer) are on all but the base version.

It’s not like there’s any shortage of choices in that segment.

Toyota itself will introduce a like-for-like replacement under a different nameplate

i think he was looking for the base model.

True, but my uncle is super old school and only wants to buy Japanese made car (lexus, Toyota, Honda) as he will drive it till the paint all chips and doors fall off.

Maybe they’ll be more willing to blow them out at the end of the year…

Tell him to wait for the Venza replacement called Crown something. Or buy a RX.

@Cody_Carter had the best pricing when I was looking last month.

Almost all the RX models sold in the US are made in Canada, not Japan. Many of the NX models available in So Cal are made in Japan.
