Truck Advice
OK - unrelated to the E55, but I trust your judgment. Lease is up on my Grand Cherokee, and I need to replace it with another CHEAP (read under $300/mo.) beater 4x4 that will get me through winters, haul crap and get my dog to the groomer. Trying to decide between another Cherokee or a Nissan Xterra.
Any thoughts?
(p.s. - first person that suggests a Cayenne, X5 or something else that doesn't fit the bill as a CHEAP daily beater will be vexed with a monumental case of jock itch.)

Why don't you BUY a beater, instead of renting one every few years? Either a short finance term or something you can buy outright. If you're just looking for a beater, I don't think it makes sense to finance/lease something new.

I appreciate the idea. But I don't want to get stuck with something out of warranty. If it will cost me $300 per month to lease a brand new car under warranty, or $300 per month to finance a three year old car without a warranty, I'd rather have the peace of mind.
