YearBody/PowertrainComment
2011 4dr SUV 276-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD
One of the lowest priced vehicles in its category (similarly equipped). Excellent interest rates. Dealers willing to negotiate.
2008 4dr SUV 242-horsepower 3.3L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD
balloon financing, can get a loaded car for far less than other SUVs with the same features, low financing rates
2008 4dr SUV 185-horsepower 2.7L V6
4-speed shiftable automatic FWD
Most available standard features which are extras on other small SUVs and jack up their price. Got it for less than the advertised price. Had about 15 vehicles to choose from at below the advertised price unlike most dealers that have only 1 or 2.
2008 4dr SUV 242-horsepower 3.3L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD
With high residual value, monthly lease payments for full-loaded model were comparable to base model Honda Pilot and Nissan Murano.
2008 4dr SUV 185-horsepower 2.7L V6

Good price for a mid-size SUV. Much better priced than a Honda CRV or Toyota RAV or Highlander

5-speed shiftable automatic AWD
Best value in class, about $3-5K less than Toyota or Honda.

2007 4dr SUV 242-horsepower 3.3L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD
Great rebate and the sales person was willing to meet our price range. I was able to get a really good price for a car with all the bells and whistles. The long warranty helped a lot also.
2004 4dr SUV 173-horsepower 2.7L V6

unsure about their captive lender financing, did not want to apply and be turned down for a loan
2007 4dr SUV 242-horsepower 3.3L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD
Price was fair when I bought it.. Has come down since the drop in auto sales. Just hope it can go 150K or more on it.
2007 4dr SUV 242-horsepower 3.3L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD
Lease rates were completely ridiculous compared to the Mazda. Wanted you to buy, but did not have good interest rates available.

The price was within budget
2008 4dr SUV 200-horsepower 3.0L V6

Hybrid was quite a premium over the V6.
2007 4dr SUV 133-horsepower 2.3L I4 Hybrid
CVT FWD
It is not economical when comparing standard engine vs. hybrid engine. You have to do it because you want a hybrid for the environment. However, it is 10K cheeper than Toyota Highlander Hybrid, but it is a lighter car too. Tow capacity is 1000 vs 3000.
2006 4dr SUV 133-horsepower 2.3L I4 Hybrid
CVT AWD
As a hybrid, expect to pay a premium price.
