Car shopping continues.I looked at a Buick after work yesterday,but salesman pointed out a few dings here and there and it was not AWD so onward I go today after work.

Not sleeping well at all the night before,I was in bed by 630 Friday night.Car shopping zapped me.

Everyone enjoy your weekend.In Central Ill we are expecting much cooler weather

Car shopping can be stressful and intimidating for sure. Good luck in your search @Luvsmyfam

Why don't you try cargurusdotcom (but with a dot not spelled out) - easier way to look. I found my last two cars on there.

Have you made a list of requirements? Engine size? AWD? Width and length for the garage? Price?

That can narrow the field.

I did a lot of looking on-line before I ever went to a dealership. Made the process for me much better because I tend to become overwhelmed with a lot of info at once.

i bought a brand new Jeep Grand Cherokee in 2010...loved it!

gave that to DD after graduating from Grad school in 2019

the first time was so stressful and exhausting so in 2020, i just bought the same car JGC. i do love it of course, drives so smooth.

i just did not want to spend time driving cars etc.. i knew i wanted 4WD, mid-size, no third row, SUV... not 'luxury' suv...

found an upgraded package with the things i wanted.

DD traded in the 2010 this year & bought new JGC. she loves it.

they say they are not 'dependable, but we had very little issues with the 2010. did all required maintenance. she traded it in with 120,000 or so... it was starting to have issues... 15 years old...

OP: narrow down your wants and needs as much as possible. good luck!!!

@Luvsmyfam It's very stressful. I looked for almost 3 years.

I'm a geeky spreadsheet kind of person so I made a spreadsheet containing my current vehicle, my BF's vehicles and vehicles I was interested in. Included specs like length, width, height, engine type, gas type, wheelbase, mpg, shoulder room, head room, any special features, and ratings.

We went to an auto show also so I got to sit in some I was looking at and some I wasn't. Went to a few dealerships also.

Since I'm 71, figured this would probably be my last purchase. I got most of what I wanted but realized, what I actually wanted wasn't out there any longer.
