Suggestions please:
Inlaws are buying a new car, asked my suggestion -
Has to be < $30k, nothing luxurious/sports cause the son would swipe it and leave them with the chevy cavalier. They are 55ish and mileage matters.

My first suggestion was a Toyota Rav4, then a honda civic (but the civic might be too small)

Input please

 

the new buick's are nice

 

Used RL

 

Off to Car Talk we go!

 

New, redesigned, 2007 Camry with the 3.5L (270HP?) V6 and the 6-speed Automatic. should be less than $30K.

If they need something bigger, the 06 Avalon in the "Touring" trim can be had for less than $30K.

If they're on a budget, its very hard to beat a 6-cyl 06 Sonata for about $18.5K (plus tax of course) or even a 4-cyl 2007 Camry.

 

move to car talk

 

for under $30 I'd have to say

A3 ($23K base price)

or

Civic (Hybrid)

 

Toyota Camry... Decent size, nice ride, not too expensive, and very reliable

 

Camry, unless your inlaws like the look of the new Civic

 

for the camry
