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
