It took Ty almost a month to find something he liked, that was in our price range, with low miles, clean, no damage, etc. But we finally found something off Craig's List!
Type: BMW 5 series.
Color: Olive Metallic. (It actually is a really nice color)
Drives: Fast. (it has a hard time going under 60 mph)
Love it: YES!
It's always fun to get a new car but it's not fun for the bank account! And it was not fun being a one car family for that long. The only good thing about it was that I got a lot of exercise walking everywhere in Vistancia. We actually ended up renting a car off and on because Ty didn't want to take the Excursion each day all the way over to Scottsdale for work. I'm just glad we are so blessed to have 2 cars.
We actually have been having quite the car problems lately. The GMC truck didn't run when the Honda died so we had to put a new battery in so it would at least run, but it has other problems so we really couldn't drive it. It was our emergency vehicle. The Excursion actually had some problems with it this last weekend and luckily it was only a $500 fix and not the $6,000 fix to replace the whole motor. The BMW had to have new tires on it ASAP and has some grinding going on coming from the front left tire. After going back to Discount Tire several times for rotating and balancing and Tyson working on it himself at home we decided to upgrade the tires. Still didn't fix it. Ty thinks that it is the rotors so we will be having to work on that this week.
Vehicles are nothing but a money pit. We have a love/hate relationship with them.
