You’ve won a… NEW CAR!"},"content":{"rendered":"

Ok, so I didn’t quite win<\/em><\/strong> a new car, but I certainly got one yesterday.\u00a0 My Saturn was starting to get to that age where things were going to start going downhill quickly.\u00a0 A\u00a05 year old American car, that’s what you expect.<\/p>\n

So, it was either a $700 repair to fix the exhaust system or purchase a new car.\u00a0 I’ve been wanting a new car since Kylah got hers last year so I finally decided to spring for it.<\/p>\n

Spencer, what did you get?\u00a0 I know all of you are on the edge of your seats so I won’t keep you in suspense any longer.\u00a0\u00a0 I bought\u00a0a 2006 Nissan Altima 2.5SL.<\/p>\n

This thing is loaded to the hilt: leather seats, 6 CD in-dash Bose stereo system with 6 speakers, heated seats, trip computer and gas mileage information, storage galore, HomeLink (the ability to open garage doors from the visor instead of the remotes), 175-HP 4 cylinder engine, and massive seating and trunk space.\u00a0 I had originally wanted to look at the 6 cylinder version but they didn’t have any and once I started driving this one, it had the power I was expecting out of a V6 but only in 4.\u00a0 Oh, and it’s a gorgeous navy blue with a beige interior; very classy.<\/p>\n

I also got a pretty good deal.\u00a0 I was able to get the interest rate down to a measly 3% as well as getting near blue book on my trade.\u00a0\u00a0They kept coming back with things\u00a0that were just a bit high and I kept on saying\u00a0I’d come back a different day because I’d have to discuss it with\u00a0my wife.\u00a0 Eventually they finally made\u00a0the right push to give me all that I wanted (low interest and high trade value).\u00a0 Of course, once they did, I said that maybe I could\u00a0call my wife instead of going home to talk to her; I’m so sneaky!\u00a0 All in all, not a bad deal and boy do I love that new car smell.\u00a0 I’ll just have to be careful not to get any tickets as this thing has pep to it.<\/p>\n

It’s nice to have a new car again, even if it does come with a payment.\u00a0 Of course, this is the kind of car that should last a very long time (or so I say now; and yes I know the next car is Kylah’s)!\u00a0 Yippee!<\/p>\n
