Pros and cons of my list:
CRV - retains value (as proven for want we're getting for the '99 with 180k on it), no mechanical issues, decent gas milage. Con, we just "got rid" of one, hard to find a top of the line used.
Mini Clubman - FUN, but small. Retains value. Good warranty program.
Chevy HHR - Roomy, CHEAP, can get it with leather and low miles (8K) but it is red with black leather.
GMC Terrain - Good reviews but looks like a conservative Mom car. Won't retain value.
Honda Fit - No niceties, not as fun to drive, great gas milage, retains value, small.
I'm actually looking at Enterprise Car Sales. They work with my CU, have cars with super low miles, have a set price below KBB, and will buy my Volvo for 1000 over KBB. However, they tend to buy more "off" models (although if I wanted a BMW 3 series, I'd have the pick of the litter.)
