You all know I like getting new things… and today, that need for new things probably hit its peak as I went car shopping with my parents. I’ve had my 2003 Ford Focus for almost 2 years now and I want a different car… a bigger car, a 4WD can’t get much bigger than that. At first I really wanted the new Subaru Foresters, but brand new they are like $40,000 – $50,000 and all of the second hand models, the older versions look crap, I really dont like the body on the old Subaru Foresters…. maybe I’m just shallow.
I then started looking at second hand Nissan X-Trails, after driving Yolanda’s I really started wanting one more. But to get reasonably new one in decent condition and low K’s your paying around $22,000. Where as the new basic model is $33,990 so why not just spend a bit more and instead of getting a 3 – 4 year old car get a brand new one. I also started looking at the Mitsubishi Outlanders, even took one for a test drive. Brand New Car, basic model with the Advantage Extra’s pack added on is about $35,000. But it is a really nice car to drive! I loved it. With a trade in price on my current car I could get the brand new Mitsubishi Outlander with Extra’s for $28,000.
So… basically I am now waiting until Monday so I can call my finance peoples so I can pay out the $500 left on the Focus. Go to the bank and get a loan for the cost of the car and then hopefully Tuesday have either a Brand New Nissan X-Trail or Mitsubishi Outlander.
Really I needed something to blog about, so you get this boring shit! YAY
