It's official - we bought a new car. The transmission on our 2000 Saturn was going out, and I could no longer put it in reverse. I had to make sure to always pull through parking stalls, and park on the street. One time I forgot and ended up pushing our car out of the driveway on Sunday morning in a skirt!
We listed the Saturn on KSL cars and were pleasantly surprised when someone offered to buy it the next morning. He brought cash and took it away, and we suddenly realized we didn't own a car.After much stress, Internet research, test driving, and price checking, we settled on a 2006 Mazda 5. Michael really wanted some extra features, but we decided to sacrifice the fancy stuff for a phenomenally low-priced base model. Even so, it's more than we are used to! The door locks and windows are automatic, it has a 6 disk CD changer, and it has one of those super fancy keys that beeps when you push the red button...

we have more cars than we can use....the man in manti gave us our car that we gave him BACK to us....we affectionately called the man buster in manti because he looked like a dust buster
Wow, I am so happy for you guys! That sounds like a really nice car, and it sounds like you really needed it. It's great that your old car sold!..now we don't have to work on it! LOL;)
That's a good name for your car. I just call my car "car". How lame is that? I am real happy you got a bigger car so you can put a lot of stuff in it when you come down and visit. Maybe you can put a big ol' present in it for me this Christmas, lol!
It looks nice. I like the way you told your story, I could just see you guys there going (oh wait now we don't have a car) It looks like it worked out good in the end. My sister has a mazda that just keeps going and going and going without any problems. I hope this will be the case with yours also.
I'm sure Tony is the happiest of all about our new car. We really didn't expect it to sell, but we thought we would try and save all the hassle of fixing it just to trade it in or sell. So we took the value of the car, minus the repair cost and listed it. The guy that bought it was a mechanic that made his business by buying cars, fixing them, then re-saleing them for profit. So it worked for everyone.
