New Ride

Because of everything going on, it has taken almost two weeks to get a daytime picture of our new ride! I drove it for the first time today and all I can say is "smooth".

In a surprise act two weeks ago this Tuesday we retired Ron's ten year old hoopety and bought a 2007 Grand Prix. We weren't really looking for a car, but Ron's car had no heat, radiator and front end issues so we never drove it anywhere -- always taking the Explorer. Out of the blue we decided to do our pre-qualification just to be ready.

The next day we received our approval and a call from a local dealership that they had a deal for us....yeah right we thought. Boy were we wrong! They had one last former rental car that they had picked up and put together a package with a wonderful payment, warranty + extended warranty, paid off Ron's car (site unseen) and brought the car to us that night with all of the paperwork, in case we were ready to take it. The first thing I said to the sales person after I introduced myself was "What's the catch?" "No catch," she assured me, "This is how we do business."

We did all of the paperwork and she drove off in the hoopety! Ron is loving it! Not that we have an abundance of cold weather here, but in the mornings he is very thankful now to have heat and defrost.

And, if you need a new car anytime soon, let me know and I can recommend a GREAT place to buy!
