So we got official word that the car is a total loss last night. We went back and got my plates and the last of the important stuff out, and I still forgot the damn garage door opener so the body shop pulled that out for me. I am awaiting instruction in signing over my title to the insurance company and how to proceed.
Based on my initial research through consumer reports, speaking with friends who have these, and my internal personal threshold budget of around 38K max fully loaded out, these are on my shortlist for the new car.
--Subaru Forester (maybe too low)
--Honda CR-V (possibly too small)
--Toyota Highlander (though I think this might get removed bec it's too high in price for the loaded model and might be a bit large)
--Totota Rav-4 (possibly too small)
--Ford Edge
--Ford Escape
--GMC Terrain
Do any of you have any of these? What do you like or dislike about them?
We are in the position where we can buy cash for them if we can't get 0% financing, though I personally do not want to do that because I don't want to crush my savings that way. We get the payout from the insurance plus we have a healthy savings, but I want to use the payout and then finance the rest with whatever 0% offer they may have. I have not test driven anything, I've just done consumer reports research.
I am planning to start test driving maybe tomorrow if I am not still absolutely terrified.
