A new car

Well, we're the proud owners of a 2005 Pontiac Vibe. Jen & I had seen this car at a dealer in Mukwonago for a few weeks now & even stopped to look at it a couple of times. Being a one-vehicle family has been a bit of a stretch, plus the Xterra only got 18mpg on the highway. Not exactly an economy vehicle, especially considering the $3/gal I paid tonight for gas!

The original price was reasonable, but it was marked at a sale price a couple weeks ago. We were prepared to ask for the reduced sale price, when the salesman pulled out a new sale tag from between the seats, due to be posted the following day, for $4000 below the original price. With our substantial cash down payment, the amount we had to finance was pretty reasonable & we drove away this morning with our new car...seating for all of us, and 35mpg to boot!
