If you are looking at spending $15K, I assume you are looking for a used SUV? Probably need some more specifics to really help you out here but my wife and I just went through the whole looking for an SUV deal.
We started off looking in the $18-19K price range for something with 25k to 35k mileage. But we were looking for something a little bigger space wise and something that could tow a 21 foot boat. I currently have a Tundra which is a great truck but I made the mistake of getting a V6 and it didn't tow the boat up hill for squat.
In that price range you can probably get a middle tier SUV like a Trailblazer, Envoy or Explorer.
Personally I am a big fan of Toyota......but my wife didn't want to foot the bill for the pricey 4 Runner or Sequoia which are both nice vehicles.
We settled on a Chevy Tahoe which we fell in love with right away when we saw it. We ended up spending a little more on it than we were looking too but she liked it that much.
Whatever you choose, make sure you run a Carfax on any used vehicles. Sometimes the dealer will do this for you but if you plan on researching vehicles on the net, I highly advise buying a one month membership. It will cost you $25 for unlimited reports for a month. That $25 could save you a lot of headaches and money later on.
