Might be car shopping for the teenager. Nissan looks like they have some decent end of year deals going. Any dealer specific ones for reasonably priced small/mid-size SUVs? I want her out of the small sedan she currently drives.

Look at the pathfinder.

Test drove one a few years back. Not bad.

I prefer Mazda over Nissan only because I don't like the CVT transmission. May not be a deal breaker for you, but something to consider.

Edit to say: If shopping new, which it sounds like you are, Mazda had 1.9 financing for up to 72 months I believe on most models.

Also look at Hyundais. Tucson/Santa Fe.

Mazda definitely on the list. Any deals on Hyundai? I'm in B/CS but definitely willing to drive to Houston.

I have a contact at Douglas Mazda

December has been one of the dealers' busier months -- at least, prior to Covid. Whether that changed things or not, I don't know. But I don't think waiting until January in this market will hurt if you can.

End of the month is always a good time to buy, though. I would just be willing to walk if the deal isn't right.
