Yipppeee! New Car!

I forgot to tell you all about our new car!! Yes!! We got rid of the Durango. A few weeks ago Josh and I were chatting about trading that piece of crap in and not 20 minutes later, I kid you not - the check engine light went on. grrrrrrrrr....For the past year that thing has cost us nothing but alot of money. We got a lemon alright and this was the final straw. $275 later .... the mechanic changed the spark plugs (really overcharging us). He got the check engine light off and told us to sell it ASAP. There was more work that needed to be done on it and we just weren't happy to be dumping anything more into it.
So the next day we hit the car dealerships in search of thee next best Ray vehicle. We originally were looking at the Kia Sorentos. We drove down to the Kia Dealership in Janesville it great anticipation of getting rid of our money hog. We test drove a Sorento and thought it was decent. When the sales manager came back with the trade-in offer, I was offended. Basically he wanted to rape us and give us nothing for the Durango. Needless to say, we immediately got up in anger and got out of that place.
A day or two later, we went to the Hyundai dealership in Janesville. The Hyundai Tuscan immediately jumped out at us - so we took it for a test drive. Comparing it to the Kia Sorento, the Tuscan was a much smoother ride and offered more sound safely features. We fell in-love with the 2007 Tuscan and made our offer. This is a really cool dealership and the sales manager was willing to give us a fair trade-in value. Josh and I were very pleasantly surprised with how smoothly and easily the whole car buying process was with the Janesville Hyundai Dealership. I HIGHLY recommend going there for your next car. We sure will when we get a commuter car for Josh.
With our awesome SUV comes a 5 year / 60,000 mile warranty and road-side assistance. Nice.
