2000 Toyota 4Runner SUV SR5 4dr SUV 4WD
Versatility and Value.  Will last 4ever.
 Why spend 13 grand on a 2000 Toyota? There's simply no vehicle out there like it.  Incredibly versatile.  4 door, 4wd, V6, manual tranny (i might look at a new one if they still offered the stick), decent gas mileage (way better than the Jeep I used to drive), composed on the highway, QUIET for an SUV, really comfortable sport seats, laughs at the snow, and of course Toyota reliability.  The build quality is ridiculous.  8 years old and no rattles or squeaks.  Almost feels like a convertible with the windows down, the tailgate window down, and the sunroof open.  I paid a lot more than I would have for a 2000 Explorer, but compare it to a new 4Runner and it's a no-brainer.  Will go forever.
