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!

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

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.

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. :)

And you can't do better than 0%.

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.
