My FX is $370 a month. More room than a car, much more like a car to drive than a 4-Runner (handles like a car, quiet interior, etc...) They have excellent re-sale value. A year ago I traded in my first FX. It was an 03 FX AWD with 89K on it. They gave me $13,500 on trade, it sold at Adesa for $14,950 and was re-listed by another local dealer for $17,900 and it sold (no clue for how much obviously). Still, it was 7 years old, did not have navigation or anything. Never had a problem with it other than the battery. Have had my new one for a year, again.... no problems. My sister is on her second one as well. If you like the way they look (they are an acquired taste for sure) I highly recommend them.

Buy only what you can afford to pay for if they lay you off. (See "Trade in my subaru thread")
Oher than that, I would only get what $11,520 will cover in depreciation over a 3yr period, (400*36*.8(Assuming 20% for income taxes)) since you'd most likely be trading in around then. You can look at prices of 3yr old trucks/suvs to figure which one would ift that criteria.Last edited by sc281; 02-02-2012, 03:15 PM.
