A combination of many life events led us to the decision that we were in need of a new car. Chris had been driving a 2004 Taurus - and about a month ago the transmission started to go. Considering Kelly Blue Book only said the car was worth about $2500 at this point - replacing it was just NOT a reasonable option... so that kind of kicked us into motion towards what we should do. Slightly fearful of what a car dealership would actually be willing to give us for his car... we waited for a while... but finally bit the bullet Saturday before last and went to CarMax to have them check it out. When they came back with their offer - $2000 - we were set - the car was going away at the end of the week whether we had a replacement or not.
So that REALLY kicked us into high gear, and led us into a search for the RIGHT new car... we knew we wanted something bigger - we knew we were looking for a SUV - but weren't sure what. Chris looked some on Saturday, I went back with him on Monday, and Tuesday we travelled to CarMax in Gastonia to look at more cars there. FINALLY we narrowed it down to a 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe - which we LOVE.
We are so so so excited! The biggest benefit is that there is PLENTY of room for us and our GROWING family. HOORAY!
