Car Madness!

Well as a few know, Chris and I recently found ourselves at an interesting intersection concerning our vehicles...his is dying and needs to be replaced asap and my lease is coming to end in about 3 weeks. So yes, we needed two new cars at the same time- something no one ever tries to accomplish but that's the way it goes...lucky for us, it's a pretty good time to be a buyer in the automobile world.

Our first stop was the VW dealership b/c frankly - I looooove my Jetta and pretty much want the same thing again. The sales guy was great and very little back and forth was required to get them to come down to my asking price...we had to push a smidge but they were trying to hit a certain number of cars for their weeked and he was like- great, done!

Second stop was for Chris...which has been a bit more difficult b/c Chris wasn't entirely sure of what he wanted except that it was most likely going to be an SUV (so we'd have a bigger car for trips now and family-purposes later) and we wanted it cheap. We spent about 4 hours with the Toyota people haggling until they were so desperate to give us the car and keep us from walking out that they came down to what we said we wanted in the beginning. So Chris got a 2006 Toyota 4Runner that looks brand new and has great mileage...AND he gets to stay in the Toyota family. He loves the cars.
