Hi everyone. Can please give me an advice. Not long time ago I gave a birth to the second child in our family and now we are thinking of buying a family car. My budget is a $25.000. Now my dilemma, I don't know much about cars and have only every purchased VW. The problem is that VWs are really expensive and don't meet our needs. After doing quite a bit of research we have narrowed down our search to the following 3 vehicles: 2012 Honda CR-V 2.4L http://automobiles.honda.com/cr-v/ 2013 Ford Escape 2.0L EcoBoost http://www.ford.com/suvs/escape/ 2012 Chevrolet Equinox 2.4L http://www.chevrolet.com/equinox-crossover-suv.html What can you say about these vehicles? I would appreciate any recommendations regarding the cars above and would value the input of owners with these cars already. Also I've found the website http://carstraderusa.com/ and it offers these cars at the price, which is lower than dealers' offers in my state. Can I trust them though? Is there anybody who dealt with them? Thanks for your time.
