A new addition!!

After totaling my Nissan Altima almost 1 year ago Jerry and I have been sharing his Honda. It was great financially but an extremely humbling experience in every other way. Thank God for good friends who made the experience much easier to manage but we just couldn't make it work any longer. So after looking at cars, cars and more cars, we are finally a 2 car family again!! Jerry is the proud owner of a 2007 KIA spectra 5. It was a dealer car so it had less than 10,000 miles on it. It is a hatchback so it has tons of room, something the Honda civic hybrid lacks and the kids love it. Jerry calls it his new red station wagon. He wants to have after market wood grain paneling installed but I said NO!! It has a manual transmission, which is exactly what he wanted and has every upgrade a KIA could have. No leather but it does have a sun roof. Much fancier than we had been looking for but the deal was GREAT!! It was like it was just sitting there waiting for us. We were headed home after haggling with other dealers all day when we decided to stop last minute and look. It wasn't even the class of car we were looking for but it ended up being cheaper because it was used. It was a huge blessing to find it. It was a great deal and had everything Jerry wanted and more and the warranty is a plus too!!
