Looking for some advice here. Both my mom and grandmother are looking for different cars. My mom's Buick Rendezvous has been on borrowed time for a couple years now, it's time for it to go.
My grandmother has a 2012 Jeep Patriot 2.0L CVT w/59k miles which she doesn't like, she wants a Grand Caravan. The Jeep's trade in value is probably $6,000. It also needs a set of tires.
I've been looking for a car for my mom, she doesn't really care what she drives, just wants me to pick it out and do all the searching. I've been looking at Toyota Matrix's and Pontiac Vibe's. They all have about 100,000 more miles than the Jeep Patriot. I was thinking that maybe she can drive the Patriot, since the mileage is much lower.
Do you guys think the Patriot would be a good car for her? I know CVT's aren't that great, but with low miles and 1 year of warranty left it might be a good deal. I can change the fluid on it too. At least we'd know the previous history on this car since my grandmother bought it new.
