If you found yourself with an unexpected 30K

I'd call my friend WDWBarb and ask her opinion and buy her a new car to say "thanks!"

I'm a little obsessed with the Honda CR-V! I rented one a while back and totally fell in love - I especially like the light blue metallic one!

But with 30K I would be tempted to go for a Cadillac SRX crossover and hope they'd bring the price down!

A light blue Toyota Prius. I have loved that car for forever. I wanted one when I bought my car but my dad talked me into a Ford Focus, which I love.

Subaru Legacy. 256 hp in a luxury car. Yeah. I want one of those. We already have a WRX STI, so we have the toy car covered (305 hp turbocharged stock.. and we don't have it stock).

A black 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and pay the remaining off.

It has to be and SUV or a truck. I recycle like crazy, I use reusable bags, even for produce, and I'm an organic nut but I love my bottled water by the gallon (to be filled in my water bottles) and my non-tiny vehicles.

I've always wanted one of these cars and almost got a used 2006 for $16,000 but every time I see these SUVs, they already have at least 75,000 miles on them. The one I was going to buy had 46,000 though and this was in 2009. I want to start out with less than 10,000.
