Greetings from sunny north San Diego County... I just picked up a flawless 2004 SRX V8, 22,000 miles, $15,000. Very nice car, will fit in well with our others. We also have a pristine 1979 Seville, with great original paint, top & interior. I'm pleased that I could buy a $50,000 low mileage SRX for so little, but the original owner probably isn't so happy about the dismal resale value. Flew to Phoenix to buy the SRX, drove it home and got 19 mpg (DIC number) which is OK, but not great. Of course, if fuel mileage mattered at all, I wouldn't have bought an SRX... Happily, the car drives like new, as it should. It replaced a 2003 Mercedes C320 wagon, so we'll see how it holds up.
Cheers...
Edward
