We bought yet another car

Wow, you are just like us. Yes, so glad it seems great.

@andriaperry It belonged to a professional truck driver. They tend to take good care of their vehicles.

@GardenGerty

We bought from a private individual. I did have some communication with a dealership but the guy was trying to be deceptive, I felt like.

So true Sishy!

It would not have mattered so much if I was not working.

@GardenGerty Yeah ! But glad this one is a good one =)

Yes, hubby puts 100 miles a day on. This one was owned by a local truck driver who delivers food around the state. He is particular about keeping up his personal vehicles. We could use a break on vehicles as we started battling vehicles last July, 2016. We have two that are part of a loan, so we cannot sell them but they do not work.

@GardenGerty Oh fantastic buy Heather..how many miles on her do you know?

@TiarasOceanView 119,000 which is not bad, except hubby puts on at least 100 miles daily. It got 32 mpg on our first tank we used. I drive the van because it has over 200,000 miles and I only drive about 20 miles daily.

It is certainly a relief.

@GardenGerty I look through many Facebook groups too. My problem is I don't have enough for anything but a beater or a fixer upper. I understand and get that. I wish people would be more upfront about what is wrong. That way I can decide if I want to actually put money into fixing it or not. I went to look at one vehicle I was told there was nothing wrong with it. Okay, the car had no brake fluid in it. I realized this when I took it on a test run. I also know what it is like because I have a brake line leak in now broken down Tahoe. I always had to make sure I carried brake fluid with us. When I put the car in park, the engine started revving up. Also, there was smoke coming from the engine. I popped the hood where the guy tells me that it was just oil he spilled. I looked, it was the head gaskets. I may not know how to fix something. But I do know when something is wrong and can tell someone hey this needs to be fixed and what the problem is. It helps to have to ex-husbands who were great mechanics.

We spent a lot of time looking in Facebook groups.. There were more expensive and newer that I liked but we could get this with what we had in the bank. We have been fighting car issues with various vehicles for a year in July. I know how hard it is for you being the only adult.

It is a pain because it seems they malfunction just when you were counting on using them.

It is a huge relief. It is reliable and pretty nice.

@GardenGerty what kind?

Yes, it is. It makes a huge difference how well a car has been cared for.
