Well, we finally decided that being a one-car family was not going to work. We looked at trucks, SUV's, just about everything. Then we thought, why are we buying a car that is similar to the one that we already have? So we decided to get a small, fuel-efficient car we can drive around town and on errands. It will pay for itself just in the gas savings over the van. And our carbon footprint will now be smaller than Al Gore's - so we will feel better, right?
So here is Mom with her new little Nissan Sentra. The process was a little involved. Kristi wanted a certain color with black leather and they are hard to find. The local dealer just didn't seem to want to do the work to find one (they didn't have the one she wanted) or deal on price. So Mom went online and found the car she wanted in Seattle. Over the phone, they gave us all the price breaks and rebates we wanted and in 30 minutes the deal was done. We drove over and picked it up so we could have the transaction completed before Girl's Camp. Cute, huh!
