NEW vehicle to us.

We have been talking about purchasing a SUV (with the 3rd row) for a while. We really needed a vehicle that would carry more people. I so dislike having to take more than one vehicle when extended family members go somewhere with us.

Considering this was going to be a 3rd vehicle we bought used. We have been looking for a while (because I am picky and CHEAP) and with much searching & waiting we FINALLY found this....

 


It was an older man who owned it and could no longer drive real well. It has been taken good care of and is fully loaded with low miles. We got it for $3,000+ less than what most used ones are going for. Anyone who knows me knows I love a great deal. My first thought was it was too good to be true. It turned out to be an answer to our prayers. We went and looked at it and the the biggest thing it needed was a set of new tires. It does have leather seating, which most people would love, but not me. I am going to have the seats recovered with cloth. Leather in Florida, to me, makes for a hot, slippery and sweaty seat.

With gas prices back on the rise, our Carolla is still our favorite car! :)
