~Vehicle Hunting~

Hey everyone! It is another chilly and cloudy morning here. I'm loving this weather! So glad it's not hot outside. Today my husband is looking at some vehicles and hopefully he will find one for our family. Our van needs a transmission and new tires. We're not putting anymore money into it. Finding a vehicle is top priority right now since we have had to rent one for this week-not cheap at all! I hope your having a good day so far!

@LovingMyBabies .....The dream would be to have a new one but, then you can't even trust the new ones to run and not have recalls now days.

@celticeagle Yeah, we can't afford to buy new anyway-I wish! Then again your right about recalls and such.

I hope that you can find a vehicle that is suitable for your family and falls within your budget. We are looking for a new truck. Hubby found one that he likes and we are waiting to hear from the banks. Not sure it will go through though. I have a good idea that I am presenting to him tonight. Hopefully he will think it as good an idea as I do.

@LovingMyBabies well, he didn't like the idea. He is a truck man and unless we buy a truck, he won't be happy.

@Elusivebutterfly Thank you, I hope so too. It makes it harder for us because we don't have a lot of money or good credit. =( I hope he likes your idea too!

It's too bad you don't live nearby me. My dad is a genius at getting people good deals on cars. All of his friends go to him, and their friends call him as well! I'm not kidding. He'll get calls from people he's never heard of, and they'll tell them they are friends with so and so, and that they gave them my dad's number because he could get them a good deal. He's a used car salesman without actually being a used car salesman.

@Ambiepam I wish we were closer! My husband did find a Ford Expedition so I'm hoping it will last us a while. He's giving it a tune up today.

I pray ya'll find a good reliable vehicle. Say a prayer, I have to drive to another town today and my Van is slowly leaking antifreeze. I am praying it is not something major that we will have to spend money on.

Its better to buy something new than keep on spending with the repairs if its almost the same as getting a new one. Good luck in finding your dream van!
