So when I lemon our Armada, should I B9 Tribeca?
Stupid Armada is in to have the power steering rack replaced for the SECOND time. Technically I have a lemon law case as the limit is two or more repairs on a major safety system (brakes, etc).
So I'm trying to decide what I would get if I suddenly get a check from Nissan USA for just under $40k. :banana:
It's gotta be for the wife, and hold a lot of cargo, so none of you JDMboyz suggest that I import a skyline. lol
Any clues as to how much that Tribeca would cost?

isnt lemon laws 3 times within a 30 day time period?

The law says that it's a "reasonable number of repair attempts made". Precedent has set that at >=4 for non vital things, and >=2 for safety related items.
There is also a part that lemons a car if it's out of service for 30 total days in the first 18 months.
One thing that hippy Californian lawmakers did well.

get a toyota and you'll have 0 problems with it. my wife and i love our 4 runner, it's pretty quick for a v6 suv. this is my 2nd toyota actually, i had a tacoma that needed absolutely nothing beyond oil changes for the 4 years i had it.
you should be able to get a v8 4x4 sequoia for 40k or less pretty easily.

The sequioa is a piece of ****. It's made like a cadillac inside (squooshy door panels, horrible seats), and costs a ****load more. Plus it's a boring *** toyota.
well is your wife a good driver? if not, I suggest a Hyundai Santa Fe or whatever it is. my uncle has one for his work, and everytime I drive it, I drive that thing HARD, and it still works, plus it's cheap.

i thought the sequoia was also revamped for '05? we never really looked too closely at those, too big for us.
what about the nissan murano? i know i'm gonna get shot, but i think they're kinda cool looking for an suv or crossover or whatever the heck they're considered.
anyway, good luck on the lemon thing. i thought about it with my rsx, but decided to just stick it out till it got fixed and sell it eventually. 3 factory reflashes and 2 ecu's later i had no check engine light problems...

Actually it might be different for 05, but on principle I don't really like Toyota's 
The Murano is very small inside. Probably no bigger than the WRX Wagon we came from. I like the looks of the Infiniti FX version, but the Murano is a no-go because of the CVT tranny that is the only option.
