Our New Car

Oh wow. Dealing with insurance companies after a wreck is NOT fun!! We have been so frustrated and so stressed out trying to sort everything out. Mainly Matt, because he is dealing with almost every bit of it. We are pretty frustrated because they are shorting us quite a bit of money on the deal, so therefore it is just money that we've lost. They are only paying for a rental car through Monday, so we went today to look into getting another car.

We first went to the same Honda dealership where we got our first Civic. They were so nice and helpful the first time, so we were hoping for the same, but we were disappointed! The payments were going to be way too high and they made no effort to work with us on it. From there we went to a strip of car dealerships in Round Rock that had Hyundai, Toyota and Honda. We had an excellent salesman who was very helpful. We could tell that he was really trying to help us out. We looked a a Toyota Corrola and another Honda Civic but the monthly payments were still too much. We both really liked the Toyota Camry, but it was DEFINITELY too much. As they started to bargain with us on the others we brought up the Camry. It took a LOT of bargaining and a little bit of my firm side, but we ended up getting a FANTASTIC deal on a brand new Camry! Low monthly payments, 0% interest and we also got a free lunch out of them (probably what sealed the deal, haha ;-)) We ended up getting it for cheaper than we would've gotten the little Civic!

So here is our 2011 Toyota Camry! It is WAY bigger than the Civic, but it rides so smoothly and really seems like a great car!


My silly husband.... so happy about his new car!

Checking it out at the dealership before we drove it off the lot.

It was a long day, but I think we got a really great deal and I think we're going to really enjoy this car! Now.... we just need it to last us longer than 2 months! More like 20 years, please! :)
