♪♪New... you're so new... you... you're new♪♪


Good job if you caught onto the lyrics for my title. :) I'll be looking at and test driving cars tomorrow afternoon with my dad. I'm tired of my car crapping out on me. Yes, I could fix the problems with my car and hold onto it for a couple more years... but the way I look at it is, why invest in something I'd only keep a couple more years? And it's a Saturn, so if I encounter any more problems in the next couple years, it will not be easy to repair it because they are no longer in production, which means parts won't be easy to come by... at least not at a reasonable price.

So I've settled on trying out a few cars. I'll be looking at the Ford Edge

I love the look of the car. It's a crossover, so it's kind of a mix between a sedan and an SUV. It sort of reminds me of the Lexus SUVs that are out... not so boxy, a more curvy back end. I like the look of the car. Bare in mind any of the vehicles I look at will most likely be a certified pre-owned... new to me, not necessarily new. :) But this is a definite forerunner!






Next up I plan on looking at the Mercury Mariner.


It's a more boxy vehicle. Sort of reminds me of a Jeep in the look of it. It's a very similar vehicle to the Ford Escape (in size and interior) just the "higher end" vehicle. Mercury and Ford and sister companies, so what do you expect? It would be relatively inexpensive for me to even purchase a brand new Mariner, although that's not very important to me, so I don't mind getting a car that's 2 years older, for $6-7,000 less!!!

Lastly, I would like to look at the Ford Escape.
Also similar to a Jeep in appearance. I'll look at it just because a good friend of mine has a Ford Escape and loves hers, and hasn't had any issues with it. Also because it's an inexpensive option, and I would like to keep my monthly payments under $350, and this would be a good option for that! :)





So think of me in my vehicle quest! :) And I'll keep my song stuck in my head as I look! :-D
