Momma's getting a new (well new used) car!


Next week, this is what I will be driving!  A Buick Rendezvous! Pretty nice, huh?

I love my Trailblazer and I love the idea of no longer having a truck payment, but it is getting pretty old and has well over 130,000 miles on it.  With all of the driving I have to do (especially far distance driving) between horse back riding, co-op, work, etc... Jason and I were starting to get a bit worried about the cost of repairs and the idea of whether or not the Trailblazer could continue to handle all of the extra miles. 

This truck is used, a 2006 but the mileage is really low (47k) and it is in great condition.  It is comfortable, has 3rd row seating,  it is a bit smaller than my Trailblazer and good on gas. 
Best of all, we got it for a steal.  The dealer closed another lot and aquired about 150 of thier car, which they have been sitting on for awhile now.  It was the fastest and easiest car purchase I have ever made.  We asked them to "eat" the cost of taxes and title transfer, and they agreed pretty much instantly - which is something that we didn't expect considering he showed us that they were already in the hole a few thousand dollars!  After everything, the bank confirmed that we paid about $4,500 less than what the truck is valued at.  WOW!
