I pick up my new car tomorrow!

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

I am getting a "Salsa Red" (I know sounds sexy, right?) Toyota Camry with everything except leather (which I hate) and a moon roof (which I can live without). They gave me 1500 over Blue Book on my trade-in and a modest rebate on the price. The best part? Lots better gas mileage, my payments will GO DOWN and so will MY INSURANCE! Goodbye SUV! This is the best decision I have made in a long time!

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

On edit: I forgot to say thanks to all of you who gave me your opinions about the best cars. They were all very valuable opinions and helped me make a good choice.

1. Yes!
I did the same thing when I bought my Elantra. I look at SUV's with Support our Troops magnets as so out of it.

Enjoy your vehicle!

4. Thank you!
I do plan to enjoy it, but I will still sport my "Keep Daddy Safe" magnet. That's the only one I would show.

:hi:

14. You made a smart choice. Toyotas are awesome cars. I have
been driving Toyotas for 10 years and other than scheduled maintenance, I have never had to do anything to them.

10. $19.5. Okay. Now, compute the interest over the length of the note.

11. And then?
I'm not paying that much over the total price of the car. Is that your point?

I am happy that I will have a very dependable car with warranty that will hold its value. Because I am raising my daughter alone right now while my husband is in Iraq, this is what I need and I have the means to pay it.

Did I miss something?

12. You didn't compute the interest over the length of the note.
