My Dodge Durango has all that.0

So, looking for a new vehicle. I have 3 kids under 6 and the back seat of my impala just isn't cutting it anymore. But, I want to pay off our windows before I get something new and get the most out of my free car (136k miles, 11 years old and so far no issues except oil changes) so looking at buying next summer. Most likely buying used, hopefully certified. So, in all reality, buying a car that is new right now. Whats out there that everyone loves? Here is what we're looking for.
7 passenger SUV or cool van
Middle row with 3 seats in case we need the bigger back for supplies. With 5 people we'd like the 7 passenger for the big dog and the extra back seat room for vacations.
AWD or 4WD for Wisconsin winters and living on a dead end road in the country that is the last road to be plowed and early work schedules so we're out before the plows.
Would like a sun roof/moon roof since I can't handle enclosed spaces
Radio controls on steering wheel
Cruise control
Back up camera
Remote start
Dual temp controls
Back seat temp controls
Anti-lock breaks
Anyone have any suggestions on vehicles that meet thsee requirements? These are my needs.
I just purchased my wife a 2016 Chevy Traverse from Carmax. The LT model we found had a third row and seats 7. Check it out!1 -
For all that, good luck on the $30,000 limit. It can be done, but it'll take time. I got mine used back in 2012 for $19k and it didn't have all that.0

My wife drives a 2011 Durango Crew we paid around 25k for it with about 60 thousand miles on it. Still had a portion of the factory warranty left. Has everything you listed plus an entertainment system. Gets surprisingly good fuel mileage for as large of vehicle that it is between 20-22 for her daily commute and 25-26 straight highway.0 -
I have a 2015 Chevy Traverse; 7 passenger, AWD. I bought it brand new; it was on the expensive side (abou $39k with tax/tags). It's not super fancy, but has back up cam, automatic seats, remote start, dual climate control, heated seats (no entertainment system).0

I love my Sienna but it only has 2 seats in the middle row... I don't think it comes with 3? We're 4 so it doesn't bother us but yeah I'd look at something else for a family of 5.0

A Hyundai Santa Fe XL will have all those options in the higher trim levels.0

A note on AWD. Not all AWD systems are created equally. Most AWD is vastly asymmetrical. That means the AWD vehicle is essentially a FWD (90/10 split) vehicle until the ECU detects loss of traction and engages differential(s) to send power to the rear. There's only two manufacturers that have reasonably proficient symmetrical AWD systems: Audi and Subaru (at one point AMC pre-1986 after which they went open diff to cut cost). The only time AWD matters is getting started. Once one is moving, driving technique and good tires are what's going to make the difference in the white stuff.0

Honda Pilot. I am on my second Pilot now. Love it. You can get a 2-3 y/o gently used low mileage ExL AWD in the mid to upper 20's.
This is especially true since the body style changed over for 2016. The 14 and 15's coming off lease are going to be outdated trims. So if you can live with that...
Also used car values are going to be falling this year. So be patient. And shop around. NADA is predicting values for used cars hurting due to the number of lease cars being turned in this year (it's gonna be a lot) and the auctions being flooded with fleet vehicles from rental agencies (as usual). Manufacturers and dealer inventories are swelling again so new car sales will be the focus for franchise dealerships. Used car values will be further depressed as a result. Sooooo...take your time. Do your research. Grind 3 or 4 dealers against one and other...and you'll find the best deal.
I can't say where I work...but I've been in the automotive finance industry for 20 years.1 -
