Budget 20k (so 22-23k I bet).
He is looking at driving experience, fitting two car seats and having the cargo space to fit them, and then doesn't want to spend too much on maintenance but if he finds the right car he will deal with the German tax.
He likes the idea of at least Nav/Bluetooth. Other than that he is pretty open to anything.
Crossover/Wagon. Wife will mostly be driving it. Had an MDX previously and liked it. One kid and adding one more.
Was looking at CX5, Outback, RDX (what years had problems?)
Wagon's: 535xi (He is worried about maintenance cost), TSX
What else is out there? He isn't looking for terrible decisions. Just trying to help him out.
Edit: He mentioned he has participated in 24 hours lemons for at least 4 season and has swapped whole engines/transmissions so he can do almost all maintenance just doesn't want to have terrible maintenance issues a lot.
Editx2: Wow. I did not know or expect this but this is the guy that bought Garrett's Miata which was Jake's which was whoever else's... Just started talking to him about his cars and such. Works at Capital One...
I asked him if he knew MM due to the Lemons racing at Summit and VIR. He said yes and mentioned buying some 95 black miata a few years back. I asked if it was Scott K. He said no. Then I mentioned Garrett and was like yup.
