Hey lifesaver,
well i dont know how much you can afford- but i know for a fact that toyotas are really good cars, and they just came out with the Sequoia and its awesome!! If you havent seen it- its kind of like a cross between the 4runner and the land cruiser. Actually its probably up there in price too. Anyway, just making a suggestion. I dont know anything about cars at all. When i got my car, my dad did everything about checking it out. He paid it all in full too so i dont know much about payments and interest. Good Luck though, and keep us posted!!
