I'm betting in a few years there will be a cx-9 to cx-5 turbo swap.
Before that the CX-X will be out.
I meant in the aftermarket Wrecked cx-9 engine transplants.

Your boss buys used cars, keeps them for five years and either breaks even or makes money? And now he is doing the same with mercedes. What kind of accountant is he?

Curious as to what ten or fifteen grand would buy you in a Land Crusher, whether badged as a Toyota or a Lexus.
These things weren't cheap new and weren't made in any great volume, so I'd think that kind of coin would cover only a pretty ragged out and well used example.

Subarus are boring, If you are willing to drop the $40k get a Tahoe.
Such a strange vehicle comparison, lol.
Don't forget the Taurus wagon is my favorite...making it even stranger-er.
This is BITOG buddy, that generation of Taurus is loved around here, almost as much as a GM W Body with a 3.8 in Buick livery.
I liked the DOHC engine in the Taurus. I think that stopped after 2005 and a wagon is hard to find with the DOHC engine. There's still the Sable though, those usually had the Duratec engine.

My 2000 is a DOHC. I got lucky!
