Car shopping

John and I went car shopping today, and test drove 4 different cars. I love our trusted dealers that we work with! The best part is that the guy we have been working with for the last several years, treat me like I am a human being and not some in-animated object. He doesn't steer us wrong either. If he doesn't feel the car is worth our time or money, he will say so.

We went in with the idea of getting a new (used) car for me, and would be giving my Saturn to John to drive and then Trent will be the owner of John's car. And walked away with the possibility of trading in the Saturn and getting two cars. If they make our trade in worth while we just may do it!

The first one we test drove was a 2008 Saturn Vue.

What a nice ride! It had a lot of get up and go, and it put me back into that feeling of power! Yay!

The next one we test drove was a Buick Rendevous, it was a nice fully loaded car, but it just didn't ride smoothly. So no picture of this one.

The next was a Jeep Liberty. It didn't have all the bells and whistles like the Vue, but it was a nice ride, and it 4 wheel drive. This is the seller for John. I like it, but I really like the Saturn.


Then for chuckles and grins, John wanted to test drive a Grand Prix, so we drove this one.

He is in love with this one. He really, really wants it. So he threw out there trading in our car and seeing what we could get for it, and get two vehicles instead of just one.

All three side by side.


I have to go back in on Monday, to have them look and appraise our car to see what they will give us and we will go from there. It has been really nice not having a car payment for the last two years, but we knew we would be having one again soon, as John's car just isn't going to make it much longer with the distance he has to drive to and from work. It will be just fine for the short distances that Trent has to drive.

So in a few days we may or may not be the proud new owners of a couple of vehicles!
