I was just thinking about seeing if you were down for another lunch run, I'll email you.

Congrats! My parents picked up a '07 LE and I like it. I've driven it several times and while it is not my cup of tea, it is a comfortable cruiser, especially for the under 20K that they paid for it. Fit/finish is not quite what I would expect from Toyota, but still quite good. They have had no issues with it....then again, it only has 15K miles in 1.5 years of ownership

Good choice for your needs and nice color!

and have fun!

The big thing 500 miles a week, or 50 miles each way/day. That's a lot of butt time, and reliability is the most important thing.

Congrats.

Not to threadjack, but I agree - the new CRV is suprisingly light on it's feet and perky.

your car is going to last really long as long as you take care of it. my uncles camry lasted till like 320k i think, (could be more) without any major problems what so ever. and especially the gas is expensive now adays, the camry would def. help with that.

why not hybrid?
