Round 2!!!


Well, in my previous post I talked about how we traded in one car for a newer nicer one with a better payment.
So, we thought why not do it again?!?! So we did just that! We were driving what we called, "The Crappy Car" a 2002 Hyundai Accent with 100,000 miles, back windows that were taped up because the gears broke so they couldn't roll down or up, but would frequently fall down. No guts, AT ALL. It struggled to go up the slightest hill. OK, so I guess we were lucky because we never had huge engine problems, but come on. That good news can only go so far. So, anyway this car lead us to go back to the dealership for round two!


Round two brought us back to the dealership for more test drives and more calculating from Doug Smith Dodge. We knew we were a little upside down in our crappy car, but they were so awesome and gave us way more than we thought we would get! We only had to pay $72 bucks to get out of our car! Awesome! So, they were able to get us into a car that would have been $8,900. We ended up getting it for just under $6,000! And again, lower payments than we had on our crappy car! Just kept getting better and better!


The car they found for us is a Dodge Stratus. 2005, only 61,000 miles, and definitely NOT a crappy car! We got lucky again! They gave us a great amount for our trade, lowered the amount of this car almost $3,000 bucks, and we were able to get a newer, less miles, WAY better car. We are super excited, and can't believe how lucky we are! Everything fell into place for us! We are so grateful! We have been blessed!
