Car is a general word for 4 wheeled motorised personal transport? SUV is hardly more specific. A 2 wheel drive with slightly increased ride height is classed as an SUV these days.

Your mention of costs seemed to imply that it was cheap which didn't seem to me to be the case.

Wow, OK, you win - you got a cheaper car than me. Congrats.

However, anecdote vs data:

"Used car payments hit record $400 per month as prices top $20,000" [0]

So I still think I've done pretty good with my purchase.

You said you wanted an old 4Runner, that's fair enough. I was interpreting it with more emphasis on the monthly price, rather than specific car, than perhaps you intended :)
