Criteria: no rust, reliable, trans good, any color except black or grey paint (<depressing trigger) silver is 'meh' fine).
Need to know mileage, timing service.

IMMINENT need to buy before October 29.
Willing to travel as far as Altus, Wichita, Little Rock, Branson, Shreveport, Weatherford (TX).

Side note: I am looking at 2005-7 Saturn Vue (v6) and 2004-7 Toyota Highlander (v6). Volvo is not my only option.

I’ve got a 2000 down in The First State that might be a good candidate for you. Needs some work but basically sound.

I have helped 2 friends, one is a neighbor starting 2015 but friend since 1995, purchased Toyota Highlanders. Both were extremely happy with the neighbor still owning his. I like the overall look, nice ride and ride height. He is an all Toyota guy however with 2 Siennas, 2 Camrys and the Highlander.

What is it? Tbh I don't have an extra 1000 to get it here. I'm taking out a loan with my bank to pay for whatever I pick out. Must get something by end of 10/28 and must be turnkey for road trips. Two 280 mile trips back to back 10/30-10/31 and 11/1.

I'm looking at 2 2007 highlander FWD v6 models. 112k/149k. Also a 2007 Saturn Vue as backup. The 98 s70 glt in okc sold on Friday.

Edit: it just crossed my mind... The '2000' refers to YM, not cash, right? I really don't want to sort out a 99-00 model. I'm dying as it is with this shopping. I avoid those YMs.

It seems like I can't find anything. This is the problem with antlers. It should be named Timbuktu. Can't find anybody reliable enough or willing enough to take a person getting a car except the most unlikely people. And everything is so far away.
