1. Choose Seating
SUVs in this price range vary in terms of how many passengers can fit in. What you need to do is make sure you have enough seats to carry your family around with. Don't buy extra seating unless you regularly transport additional passengers.
2. Choose a Brand
You might be partial to a particular brand. Don't oversimplify this decision, though. Your favorite brand might not be the best choice for you. Some brands tend to depreciate faster than others, which means you lose value quicker. Others don't come with great warranties. The price may also be lower, but the initial savings could be eaten up by costs in a short time period. Make sure you don't end up regretting your choice later on.
3. Choose a Trim
Trims define the level of luxury and "equippedness" of a vehicle. The "top of the line" trim is the most expensive, most luxurious and most equipped. Everyone wants the best trim but you shouldn't spend on features you don't need. The higher trims will have bigger engines, accordingly. Keep in mind that bigger engines cost more money because they consume more fuel. If you really want to, you can purchase a little extra power for fun. Don't overdo it, though. Are you really planning on racing or competing? If not, a modest engine will be just fine.
4. Choose a Dealer
You're almost there! The next step is to get quotes from your local dealers for comparison. Once you know who's offering the best deal, you can simply go get it or you can negotiate further. Just show your quotes from competing dealers for a little extra leverage.
