Entry 142: New Car

Lance is like his dad in the fact that he likes to go to car lots and look around. Julie also has been hinting that she thinks the car is getting up in miles (157000) and would like to think about getting a new one. Well on Friday when Lance picked Julie up from work, we stopped by a car lot on the way home and Lance asked the dealer what he had in small SUV's. The dealer showed us a Pontiac Torrent with only 230 miles on it and they were selling it as a new car and taking a little over $9000 off the original price. We thought this was too good to be true and went home to research the car. It had good ratings and we found out it had never been in an accident. We made the deal on Saturday and are thrilled to death. It has many features that we both like; such as heated leather seats, automatic start, a nice big backseat for the dog, and Julie's favorite controls on the passenger side so she can control the temperature on her side. You can see pictures of it below.
