We are torn between a "good used car" , now there's an oxymoron, and a new car.
Her old car was all paid so I'm not crazy about car payments. I've ALWAYS bought new and drove them till they were dead,
so I don't know any "Used Car" folks, and I'm very reluctant to buy private sale.
We're looking for a 2005-6 Full Size SUV, prefer the Jeep Grand Cherokee, like the one we had. It was a 2004 and we never
had any major problems with it. Looks like the guys insurance is going to pay us out about $10-11K for her car.
Any advice appreciated.

Below are a couple of links worth reading. Pricing in the used car market is higher than it has been in years. This is due to the lack of supply and higher demand for used cars.
Personally, I have bought all of my used cars through Lovering Volvo. I purchased their service loaners. Typically the cars have between 8-10k for miles on them and price very competitively.
