Hi all,

I am trying to work through my buying process and thought maybe some of you can help me with my thinking.

So I want to replace my car, currently a RAV4 V6, and was thinking about all these:

1. XC90 (still unsure, with all the issues reading the forum)
2. MDX (good value, but dated interior)
3. Highlander(standard safety features etc, but mid $40k)

Also torn between a 5 vs. 7 seater. We don't tow or take a lot of road trips, just around the city with occasional road trip maybe once or twice a year.

This led me to think, would it be better to get a CPO instead of spending $50,000 on a new car?

CPO consideration

1. GL450
2. ML350

Would the safety tech in these cars from 3 years ago be adequate enough for a 7-8 years of ownership?

Also, has anyone bout extended warranty from GIECO instead from MB etc?
