That sounds like a good day...

I have a question on the Exploders..

Are there any years to stay away from?? I have been looking at them in the 2000 to 2003 range...

She seems to really like them.. Now she isn't interested in a car, she wants an SUV..

What a loaded question...according to Consumer Reports...none of them are good!!!

In 2002 they were completely remodeled with an independent suspension...they will ride and handle better than the older ones. Your best bet is to find one that you can track a service/repair history and hope for the best. Keep me posted and I'll help you out with OASIS...etc.

Does she realize how expensive these things are to repair???

Sean may be able to shed some light on them...his father owns both a 2002 and a 2003.
