New Car

Well, we bought a new car! What can I say? I know how to work a deal. :)

This is our new 2011 Toyota RAV4! It was the last 2011 on the lot, last day of the month, last day of the quarter... they wanted to sell it! We were firm with what we were willing to pay and had to "leave" the dealership twice before they finally gave us the price we wanted. We got a really good deal on it. They ended up coming several thousand dollars off the original asking price. We got $1000 off since Matt is graduating next month, more than double what my car was worth as a trade-in, and some other miscelaneous discounts that they added on to get our payments where we wanted them. Plus we got 0% APR! Like I said, they REALLY wanted to sell a car first thing in the morning! :)

It has a few cool features that we don't NEED, but that I like. :) It has a sunroof, a rear spoiler, and rails on top (which we'll probably never use, but I've always thought they look nice!).


The back seats fold down so there is tons of room in the back for when we need it (plenty of room for a 60 lb dog!). Since the spare tire is on the back, there is also storage room underneath the floormat in the back (where a spare would usually go). I'm sure Ginny will like the extra space (though we're both already dreading all of the dog hair in our new vehicle, haha!).


One more picture:



We weren't planning on getting another new vehicle quite yet, but we knew my car wouldn't last too much longer, so when we saw a good deal, we decided to check it out. Since we now have two 2011 vehicles, we're hoping it will be a VERY long time before we have to buy a new car again! So there ya go! That's our new vehicle.

(Every person we've shown it to gives us the "Oh, a carseat will fit nicely in here," or, "plenty of room in the back for a stroller and a pack and play." So, if you were thinking about leaving a similar comment, DON'T.)
