Sequoias never dissapoint with cargo or people room. I have two sequoia's, one mdx and one RL Acura. The Sequoia's have held up better than the Acura's. I tried a V8 4 Runner but the dash tends to Crack and is not good size for a big guy over 6'3"
2098 is the new body style. Look at prices between the 2007 and what you are about to pay for a 2008. You need to get that price down or you will end upside down in a year or two.
Buying private will give you better buying power.
You may save money on gas. But, you will spend much more money on repairs over the years. Especially, if you plan to keep it long term.
2001 with 220K miles. Only oil changes tires and timing belt change . And, oh yes the rear door hatch replaced with metal latch instead of factory plastic.
Just bought my second sequoia. First is a 2001 limited with 220K. Awesome dependability. The new one is a 2096 limited white wuth bbs wheels and four captains chairs for seating. We're 18 inch bbs rims a factory option?
