Car advice-

Ok so here is how it went-

I went to the dealer- test drove the '07 and felt like a sardine. The '07 is 3.5 cubic feet smaller inside than the '08. Ok- so now I know I want the '08- now, let's talk $$.

The sales guy asked me what rate I was offered through my employer- 7.5 says I- wow, can't beat that says he. Ok, let's call them up and get the money flowing. Then in the middle of the process he asks again - if they can meet the same rate would I finance through them? Ok says I-

He came back with two offers for me- 7.5% for 60 months, payment was like $447- other offer was 8% for 72 months payment was $407. I did go with the longer term-I can pay additional amounts anytime as well. I added Honda Care- which gets me a rental when the car is in the shop, towing, etc etc- resist-all- which will scotch gard the inside of my car (with kids it makes good sense) and GAP insurance- and got a Clear Mask (clear bra) for free. (hahaha)

She's beautiful- royal blue pearl, grey interior. Roomy and just---swoon- beautiful. I'm sold on their service and sold on the product as well-

Am I freaking a new payment- yeah, a little. I have purpose behind all this-and soon it won't be freaky, it will be fine. Actually registration scares me the most

Trying to grab a picture.....yeah....
