Russ spent the weekend checking out some of the local online car sales sites as well as made several trips to the Lemon Lot (where those who are selling their vehicles can park them for ease of selling) and didn't find anything that looked better than the car we saw on Saturday. He came home for lunch and we walked back out to the car dealer and started the paperwork towards the purchase of our first car. It is a 2006 Nissan Note with about 35,000 miles on it (53,000 km). It's a charcoal gray color and has a tan interior (That was one of the top things on my list after seeing how hot it gets here.) It will come with a one year warranty and two years of JCI. The insurance on it will be less than what we were paying in GA. We had to put $300 down to hold the car and will pay the balance on Thursday when we pick it up. Another big item checked off our list of things to do to feel like we're settled. We're looking forward to seeing more of the local area now and will be starting the search for houses soon. We're pretty excited about it. As we carried our groceries on the mile long walk from the Commissary, I kept thinking..."Hey this is the last time I'll have to do this". We're hoping it will be a good car for us. I loved my Nissan we just sold so I felt confident about choosing a Nissan for driving around here too. Hopefully parts will be easy to find if needed.
Nice Looking car.
