<<new vehicle?>>

Well. I may be buying a new(er) vehicle. I have to see if I can get approved though. I owe about 2x as much on my car as what its worth and trying to do a trade in. So. We'll see. Hopefully I will hear something today.

We are looking at a 2003 or 2004 Kia Sedona

A true mom-mobile. I wasn't really wanting to go the foreign car route, but even with my X-Plan offer through Ford and my mom's discount through GM- A new Sedona is still atleast $5k cheaper. If not more. And they have the highest safety rating for minivans.

I really regret buying this Grand Am. What the hell was I thinking? A grand am for a family of five? I bought it during my suicidal, depressive, "I'm getting a divorce", "I want to fuck everything that walks beside my husband" stage. And I really, really regret it.

It doesn't help that I don't have the best credit either. But it is slowly getting better... I was afraid the sales people were going to walk me out of the building when they ran the report! LOL! Hopefully the guy will call me today. But this means I may not be going to school spring/summer semester after all because they want a significant down payment, ie $1500!. Ouch. There goes 3/4 of my student loan check.

Oh well. I either do this now or in September.

This also means we may not be able to afford going to the east coast this summer either. Michigan has plenty of beaches though so I guess I may just have to deal. Atleast if we do get it we will have a comfortable, new ride to drive to Alaska next year :)

Suprisingly Larry is ok with the idea, even after he saw the sticker price (new is like $20-$25k, less the $2500 rebate). He even went with me.. which if you know my husband.. you'd be amazed at the personality change over the past year!

Hopefully this guy (who actually wasn't a pompous asshole like most salesman I have had to deal with- thankfully!) will give me some good news today...
