Best 4x4 Under $5,000?

early subaru outback?

as for these gas hogs, why would anyone own a car that only gets 400 miles from a 30 gallon tank. maybe its just my third world upbringing that colors my thinking, but even my 300E gets 400 miles from a measly 17 gallons.

Maybe a very early one, with high miles - they just can't seem to penetrate $6000 legitimately.

I would say that for $5000, you can pretty much choose what you want. Every car you buy will have its share of problems no matter what. That is the situation whenever you buy a used car. Anyway, if you are looking for a mid-size SUV, I would recommend the Cherokee, full-size suv - Suburban, compact SUV - Suzuki Samurai, otherwise you could go for a 4wd sedan/wagon like a Subaru for real cheap. As for a pickup, full-size and small Fords and Chevys are a good bet. When it comes down to it, though, you really have to consider the condition of the vehicle since that is all that really matters.

Umm... I'd say having a large cubic displacement V8 pull over 10 mpg on pump gas is an above average thing. My dad's 2004 Denali get 8-10 mpg. Your idea on mileage is tweaked a little due to your CAR'S gas mileage.
