Nowadays, SUVs are gradually becoming more popular than sedans cars because of their amazing features, which give regular sedans a good run for their money. They come with features such as plenty of space for equipment, all-season confidence, and serious versatility. A lot of drivers just can’t seem to get enough of their practicality and toughness.

As a matter of fact, these high-riding vehicles never cease to rule the streets. One of the major reasons why many drivers have grown fond of these SUVs could be because of the nostalgia from the early eighties to the late nineties. Back then, SUVs were emerging, and they weren’t like any other vehicle driven on the road.

Also, it’s possible that some drivers who grew up in their old family haulers driven by their parents might want to own something similar today. Moreover, these days most people feel more sentimental about wagons, so it's not surprising that the SUVs stay prevalent.

However, the increasing supply of SUVs in the market hasn’t caused the price of these vehicles to decline, especially for new models that come with improved design styling and more modern technology. So, it’s wiser to look towards the used-car market. There, you’d find luxurious and amazing old SUVs that are quite affordable and possibly super cheap today. These old SUVs could still serve you like the new ones today and possibly do more.

Here are 25 Old SUVs that you can buy super cheap today.

25 2004 Porsche Cayenne Turbo

Via Porsche Mania

At the turn of the century, the Porsche AG played chicken with their faithful and loyal customers when they released the 996-era 911 in 1998. After the 996, they made the Cayenne, which was their first SUV. After all, SUVs were popular at that time and Porsche didn’t want to be left out in selling their units as they were already successful in selling the Boxster (which was an entry-level, compact vehicle). So, Porsche produced the Cayenne Turbo with a turbocharged engine that generates 450 horsepower. In fact, the engine performed well enough to win the 24 Hours of Daytona car race. However, the SUV was improved in other subsequent models. Today, you can get the SUV for around $9,725.

24 2002 Cadillac Escalade

Via AutoBidMaster

In the late 90s and early 2000s, the Cadillac Escalade was the critical expression of excess and hugeness. Both the Hummer H2 and the large Cadillac Escalade SUV largely symbolized the concerns of conspicuous fuel consumption which defined that era in the automotive world. Surprisingly, today the 2002 Cadillac Escalade can be bought at a price close to 10 percent of the SUV’s cost when it was newly released, which isn’t something fitting for a vehicle that represented anything but smallness in that time. You can buy the Cadillac Escalade for around $5,750 and still invest your money in improving the vehicle with aftermarket modifications.

23 2004 Hummer H2

Via Saugus Auto Mail

The Hummer H2, as mentioned above, symbolizes the extra-large Sports Utility Vehicle alongside other vehicles like the 2002 Cadillac Escalade and the Ford Excursion. Unfortunately, the Hummer brand is no longer in existence.

However, the value of the Hummer 2 flagship model hasn’t declined as bad as we thought it would, though that doesn’t mean it’s still not super cheap.

You can buy it for $3,100 today, although many thought it would go down as low as $2,000 or less considering the halt in production and lack of customer support. The Hummer H2 unluckily fell into a large tax loophole, and not even its enormous size could save it.

22 2006 Range Rover Sport Supercharged

Via Gumtree

If the Hummer H2 and the Cadillac Escalade are the epitomes of enormous, then the 2006 Range Rover Sports Supercharged is the most luxurious version of the enormous SUVs available in the market. No doubt, the Range Rover is the most well-equipped version of all off-road Land Rovers, but the Supercharged Sport is the super-fast version of the Range Rover. It was priced at $70,000 and up when it was first released. However, you can get the car for $9,500 today, which is super cheap considering the features it possesses. The SUV’s engine generates about 390 horsepower. According to Car and Driver, the vehicle has amazing stopping power, as it can drop from 70 mph to a stop in only 165 feet.

21 2004 Lincoln Navigator

Via Wheelwell

Mercury and Lincoln are two car models that carried the luxury side of the Ford Motor Company for many decades. Even though Mercury has become a shadow of its old self, the Lincoln car brand has still managed to carry on quietly, serving the luxury-oriented customers of Ford. The 2004 Lincoln Navigator lacks the rugged feel of the Hummer H2 and Cadillac Escalade, but it’s still the perfect Luxury SUV for those that can afford it. The value of the 2004 Lincoln Navigator was pegged at around $50,000 when it was released, depending on options, although you can get a used one today for somewhere near $6,275. The vehicle’s engine also can generate 300 horsepower, so you don’t have to worry about its powertrain.

Via Wikipedia

In 2017, Jeep made huge profits selling over 240,000 new Grand Cherokees. It’s not a surprise, considering that the sales figures of the Jeep Grand Cherokee have always been huge. Far back in 1993, Jeep recorded large sales when the Grand Cherokee brand was initially released. Since then, sales of the Grand Cherokee have just about doubled every year.

The Grand Cherokee is normally about 4.5 inches longer than the regular Cherokee, which was first launched in 1984.

The additional length of the Grand Cherokee improved the SUV's legroom, which makes it more comfortable for passengers at the rear seat.

The 1998 model comes with a V8 engine that generates 245 horsepower and a torque rating of 345 pound-feet. Today you can buy the 1998 Grand Cherokee ZJ for around $4,500.

19 2004 Land Rover Discovery

Via Platinum Autohaus

The Land Rover brand has unusual lore that gives its models steep price tags, especially when it comes to models that are well-loved, like the original Range Rover classic and the rugged Defender. However, it hasn’t been the same story for the Discovery. The vehicles have just not been able to get the same patronage that their fellow models have received from fans.

Nevertheless, the Disco has a smooth, classic SUV appeal.

A good example is the 2004 Land Rover Discovery. It has expansive glass and a stepped roofline blended with a low beltline to give the driver superb visibility. The SUV is one smooth 4X4 vehicle that has solid handling off-road, though it does a deserved reputation for sub-par mechanical dependability. Its issues are part of the reason you can get it cheap today, for right around $4,600.

18 2011 Nissan Murano

Via autoevolution

Most reviewers stated that 2011 Nissan Murano was an interesting and powerful crossover SUV to drive, especially good for a family to own.

According to the EPA, the Nissan Murano has the same fuel economy when it is configured in either front or all-wheel drive. The 2011 Nissan Murano comes with a V6 engine that generates 245 horsepower. You can get this SUV today for $5,700.

Via Top Gear

The BMW X3 was one of the best compact SUVs when it was released in 2009. However, there were a lot of rumor about the vehicle's suspension when owners claimed its stiff springs soaked up road imperfections.
