I bought a new car ....

Last December I bought a new car

a Ford Escape

that is only the 7th car I have bought

my first car at age 18 was a Datsun

then I saved my money and bought myself a 1976 Camaro

Next up was a Ford Bronco II

then 3 kids later.....had to go with the mini van

Ford Aerostar

I drove that mini van for 10 years.

When we had to get a new vehicle, Johnny at first wanted

another mini van. I did not

So he bought me a Ford Expedition

I called her the MacDaddy! Loved the Expedition

I could haul a whole pile of kids around

I drove that for 10 years and then bought my Pontiac

G6 GT hard top convertible.

loved it and drove it for 7 years. 

Then comes December 2015. I wanted a crossover and the

one I really wanted was the Kia Sorento. But when we went to

the dealership they were not willing to work a deal

The Sorento was fast becoming one of the top rated crossovers

so they just were not offering a lot

we stood our ground and walked out

then went to the Ford dealership and settled on the Ford Escape. 

I say "settled" only because it wasn't really what I wanted

It's a great car with some really cool features but it felt small

to me....I wanted one with more room

In August they were offering some rebates on the Kia Sorento

but I had only had the Escape 8 months. Johnny said well, all we

can do is see what they will offer. So we go, I find one I want, they

tell us the price, great price....BUT, will they give us payoff on the

Escape. At first they said no but when they realized we were willing

to walk away, they agreed to payoff.

and now I have what I really wanted.....the Kia Sorento.

we love it!

later.....
