A Brand New Car!!

Well, Jonathan and I finally made the decision to say goodbye to his old 1998 Toyota 4-Runner and get some new wheels.  His 4-Runner has been acting up lately...shaking all the time, a few transmission problems, not consistently starting, and the brakes were beginning to wear.  Last Saturday we went to CarMax and got a trade-in estimate on his SUV.  I was expecting $1,500, but to our surprise the appraisal was $3,000....WE'LL TAKE IT!!

We decided on a new vehicle to purchase as well.  Jonathan chose a 2008 Ford Escape (in Maroon, of course)  It had just under 45,000 miles and the only owner was a rental car company.  The car was purchased for $15,995.




Now who has the beater car??
....yeah, that would be me
