Chris and I are in the market for a new car and the great thing? We didn't have to take forever to save up the money. Right now, we have about $3,000 saved up for a car, which is okay, but we could do better! We're thinking we could sell the Grand Am and make another $1500-$2000 from selling that. That puts us in the $4500-$5000 range, which is getting much better. Now the kicker! Chris and I just finish our taxes and we're looking to get back $4500 back this year! Amazing! That doubles our budget! So now we're in the 9,000-$9500 which is an amazing price to upgrade to a used SUV or minivan. As much as I would rather not have a minivan, I realize that it may be the better option.
We've been looking at 2003 and 2004 Ford Expedition. We found one locally. Its a white 2004 Ford Expedition, it comes with an extra set of tires and a utility trailer all for $8000! We called on it yesterday, we haven't heard anything back yet, but it sounds like an amazing buy! I can't wait. We've even talked about waiting until Memorial Day weekend and going to car dealerships finding some great deals. I know that we'll find something that we love! With this growing family of ours, its just going to be better to have something bigger that will last us for awhile.
We're excited to buy a newer car and to love it!
