New Car

[bertine]

I bought a new car last night. I will pick it up on Saturday morning after Zach and I go hiking and hang out on the north shore of Superior for the next couple of days.

It is a Mazda6 i Touring Plus in Black Cherry Metallic and Beige Cloth Seats.

(This is actually the car I bought)



When we test drove it yesterday it was much more fun to drive than the test drive yesterday. It was a good price and didn't have a lot of options that I wouldn't use. Also, I got 0% interest for 60 months which is just insane to me.

We also test drove the Nissan Altima. That was a very fun car to drive but I didn't like the sight lines and the interior was pretty uncomfortable.

When I got home Hoopty promptly broke even more and the glove box wouldn't open anymore. This is the third thing that has broke in the last month. I am so annoyed with that car. Anyways, he is going away on Sunday or Monday and I won't have to deal with it any more. Yay!

Everything looks better in Cherry Red! That is a sweet looking car. Nice job!

What the...??? Why would they take a photo of the car with snow on it? Weird.

I know! When I saw that I laughed.

Good decision! Hopefully taking one step to make your life better will reduce some anxiety and make the next step that much easier!

Very nice choice. You know I love Mazdas. My ex's ex-husband bought a Mazda 626 back when they were first married. He still has it. That must be... 14, 15 years now? I'm sure you'll have this for a while. :)

Awesome! I want a new car, but I guess the one I have works just fine. Someday, though, I'll do it. Your car has been one that I've been drooling over for a couple of months now :)

Congratulations, especially on 0% interest.

Cool car, congrats!

Congratulations! You'll love it way more than you would a crappy Camry.

I think you are right. I am pretty happy with it so far. I am finally getting used to the size so I am just now having fun driving it. :)

[seattleforge.livejournal.com]

And you can't do better than 0%.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

Nope, I also get a good warranty, oil changes for the first 3 years and road side assistance. My dad was happy.

Good job. ;-)

Unless you're buying something exotic buying a used car can often (not always) be a false economy.

We will see how I feel in 10 years with this car but so far I feel pretty good about it.
