Bought a new-to-me car!

January 3rd, 2010 at 01:52 am

I posted in the message boards on Thursday about getting in a car accident that left the volvo not worth salvaging. A towing place came today to pick it up and donate to the Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philly.

I was horribly depressed but T kept reminding me that the car was on it's way out anyway. Lately we've been thinking the head gasket was going bad and we had a couple pricey repairs on the way. T and I spent Thursday, Friday, and today looking at cars and settled on a Pontiac. We got the 2007 G6 GT Sedan (in red!) It only has 40k miles on it. This is by far the newest car I've ever owned I'm so excited! The price tag was $9,995 and we decided to finance it. We're planning on paying it off within a year (we took the loan out for longer just in case a baby decides to enter the situation in the next year; it'll be nice to have the option of lower payments). Let me try and see if I can post a picture. It's not ours, but looks exactly like it. Here goes...



Now to start paying this baby off! I'm thinking I focus on T's student loan until that's gone which will free up another $60 dollars a month to put on the car.

    A car that is reliable brings peace of mind. Congrats.

    congratulations on the "new" car! If you total how much you might have spent on repairs to the old one, you'll see the difference might not be that much!

    Glad to hear it was only the car that got totalled!
