Currently have a 2019 Cayenne base, great car, has active air suspensions , manufacturer installed tow bar, some other nice features. I’m paying $1k a month and owe less than $20k on it. Issue is the certified warranty ends in November and the price to service this car is getting insane. I take great care of it but I’m worried if something big goes it will be an arm and a leg to fix and not sure I want to keep dumping money into the car.

I’m looking for a nice SUV (don’t need the third row) , if it can tow that would be fine otherwise just need a hitch for my bike rack. Trying to stay around $650 without putting a ton of money down (thinking lease).

I was looking at the VW atlas, my wife thinks it’s a mom’s car lol and some others. Any suggestions?

One other question, if I trade my car in and cash out (car is worth more than what I owe) does that help w the taxes on a new lease?
