New Addition!

A new vehicle joined our family on Saturday night. We bought this 2001 Ford Explorer from a dealership here in town and we're loving it! It was just meant to be ours. We'd been looking at other SUVs earlier in the day and Bob had fallen in love with a 2002 Chevy TrailBlazer that had every bell and whistle imaginable, but it just had way too many miles on it and was just a bit out of our price range. So we went home to do some research on the interent. In my interent browsing, I came across this Explorer on a used car website and almost immediately knew that we had to go see it. It happened to be at a dealership just down the street from where we live, so we dropped Braden off at Mom Irish's apartment and drove over. At the dealership, we told them we wanted to look at a 2001 Ford Explorer and the salesman took us straight to the one I'd seen on the interent. He pulled it out of the line and let us check it out and then we took it for a drive. We just both knew that this was the car that we were meant to find. It was exactly the price we were looking for and had half as many miles as the TrailBlazer that we had been looking at. PERFECT! At about 7:45 we told the salesman that we wanted the car - then 4 LONG hours of paperwork later, we drove out of the lot with a car payment. So exciting!

Look at that! Only 54,412 miles!
