New Car!

Well, I guess I'm due for an update since we have something new at our house! We did in fact buy a car this week!
Last week, when Ben's truck had some issues, we started tossing around the idea of looking into a new car. We've known for a while that we were eventually going to be getting something to replace his truck because it's 16 years old, has 170,000 miles on it and we keep having to fix things! Plus, as we get further into the future, we'll want something a little more family friendly with good storage space. We hadn't really planned on getting something so soon, but after that happened with his truck last week, we decided we'd check into insurance and see how much that would go up for the type of SUV we were looking for, and we decided that we'd look around online at dealerships and see if there was anything we'd want to go drive to kind of figure out what we liked.
So last Friday, we went to a dealership right down the road here because we  had seen advertised a 2008 Saturn Vue that looked really nice. So we went and test drove it, along with a few other things. Ben loved it! He was like ready to buy it right then! lol, but I had several others that I wanted to test drive first, and plus, it was our first day to look. Saturday we decided to go down to South Bend to go to some dealerships and drive all the different ones we wanted to test out. It was a long, hot day out on the car lots, but we got a lot of good test drives in and were able to narrow our choices down to 3 different ones. After a couple days of thinking about it and deciding, we decided to go back to this dealership here in town and drive the Vue again. I hadn't actually driven it the first time we went, and so I wanted to drive it and see what I thought and I wanted to look at it again to see what I thought about the trunk space...I was kind of hoping for something a little bit bigger. But after driving it and comparing size and prices to others, we decided to make them an offer! So we did, and they met us at a really good deal...so we are now the owners of a 2008 Vue! We never thought we'd buy one so quick into starting to look, but we really liked this one and it was one really good deal!
Here it is!
