Title: I have some vehicles picked out..(updated) Post by Melissa on Mar 13th, 2006, 1:38pm JUST in case hubby's spare tranny doesn't fit into the car he has and he wants to debate me on whether we should get a $1000 beater for his work until next year, or a car for me now so he'll have my old one. There are 3 of them (all Toy's), what do ya think? 1. 1999 Avalon XLS- http://tinyurl.com/mr5jf 2. 1999 Sienna XLE- http://tinyurl.com/n46j4 3. 1999 Camry V6- http://tinyurl.com/n2rem |

I'm torn between the Camry and the Sienna. :( I want a Camry because they have style and are dependable, just like my Corolla, but the van would be nice for the extra room. |

Title: Re: I have some vehicles picked out... Post by Melissa on Mar 13th, 2006, 2:18pm I actually prefer cloth interior to leather, but it comes with the vehicles, so oh well. Besides, my arse is wide enough for proper cold displacement. ;;D |

Title: Re: I have some vehicles picked out... Post by LeLimey on Mar 13th, 2006, 2:33pm ARSE Melly?! I caught you saying bloody as well the other day ;;D My infiltration is coming along nicely! I'd go for the van if I was choosing but having said that I do have my heart set on a nice Aston Martin Vanquish next time.... |

Title: Re: I have some vehicles picked out... Post by Melissa on Mar 13th, 2006, 2:38pm The van would be awful nice to own.... Especially with all my niece's and nephew's and the one's that'll for surely be arriving in the future. I could haul the kids around without worrying where to stick them! ;;D Not only that, it would be AWFULLY comfy for those riding to and from the airport in Milwaukee. ;) BUT, Jesse hates vans... Except he liked the Pontiac Montana we found when looking for a van before I lost the baby. It had the leather interior and was loaded too... Hmmmmm.... I hope he won't be too stubborn this time round. :-/ oh, and it also blue booked better than the Camry, hehe |

Title: Re: I have some vehicles picked out... Post by BobG on Mar 13th, 2006, 9:57pm Go for the Avalon. Don't fork out the $1600 for the lazer controlled speed control. They don't work in dust, rain, snow, heavy traffic or around corners. Better yet go up one step and get a Lexus. |

Title: Re: I have some vehicles picked out... Post by Melissa on Mar 14th, 2006, 4:05pm Ok, since we're finding it hard to find a decent Camry for less than $7000, I decided to check out the Buick's and came across this... http://tinyurl.com/qm86q I think I'm in HEAVEN!!! ;;D ;;D ;;D ;;D ;;D (and hubby is VERY interested in it...I wonder why??? [smiley=laugh.gif]) |

Title: Re: I have some vehicles picked out... Post by BMoneeTheMoneeMan on Mar 15th, 2006, 2:09am Hey Mel, thats a tough one. the cars are so different. My friend has a minivan and loves it because it is a good people mover and has a lot of space. I recently got an 06 Camry on a lease. Its the primary car so we need one to be 100% reliable, but its less than $200 a month. Considering I am virtually guaranteed I wont ever spend any money on repairs, its a pretty economical way to get a reliable car. B$ |

Title: Re: I have some vehicles picked out... Post by Melissa on Mar 15th, 2006, 7:06am Well, so far, the Camry and Sienna are still for sale. I weighted the options and value between the two, and the Sienna won. It's below blue book, has a higher value (even with 122,000 miles on it), has the space I want for eventually hauling around my kids and their cousins, and hubby talked to the guy on the phone when I was gone and seemed sorta insistant about it when I got home, (THAT'S another new one! :o) although the choice is up to me since I'll be the one doing most of the driving. Oh, and the reason the guy is selling is because he has one kid in high school who drives himself and another in college, so he doesn't need it anymore. Luck be a lady on Sunday. After some major thinking of how the hell we are going to be able to afford it, I found a way to get the money without taking out another vehicle loan. BUT, we would still be $500 short for purchasing it. It would be SOOOOOOOOOOO great if anyone could please keep their fingers crossed. For when we go to look at the van we are hoping that the guy takes $7000 for it?? Please???? TYTYTYTYTYTYTY in advance!!!! mel BTW, he is driving back on Saturday from Louisiana. He was down there to help with the Katrina clean up effort. |

Title: Re: I have some vehicles picked out..(updated) Post by Richr8 on Mar 16th, 2006, 4:50pm It's been a while since I've had a minivan, but you can't beat them as a family vehicle. Then again, you can't go wrong with a Camry either. Rich |

Title: Re: I have some vehicles picked out..(updated) Post by Melissa on Mar 16th, 2006, 5:16pm Well, hubby is with his cousin town hopping looking at vehicles. He did stop to see the Camry for sale (said it's a clean car, looked like it had some rearend damage, but it was fixed very well), and said that if he didn't find anything else before he gets back, we'll be calling her this evening to make an offer. The van would have been great, but we found out he lives right on the border of WI. That's about a 3 1/2 hour drive he doesn't want to take, LOL. That's quite alright. I'm sure that whatever happens, will be the way it's supposed to be. Hopefully the lady will accept $6500 for the car and if there's no mechanical probs, we're going to buy it. *fingers still crossed* :)mel |

Title: Re: I have some vehicles picked out..(updated) Post by Melissa on Mar 17th, 2006, 9:36am Well, I left the lady a message with our offer. That was at 6pm last night. Haven't heard from her yet. SO, I'm not banking on it. :-/ It's OK, hubby found me a white 1999 Buick Regal (I THINK it's a GS) that's loaded with leather. 89,497 miles and the place is asking $5995. It's actually the same place we bought the Grand Prix at 8 years ago, LMAO!!! See, hubby's car used to be mine until his old one died, that also used to be mine. Basically, I get the newer cars and when his dies, he gets mine and I get another one. Only this time, I have decided he should have the Yoda. ;;D We are going to go test drive the Buick this morning. I'll let ya'll know when I get back if we bought it. (I'll take some pics, hehe) THANKS my family! ;)melly |
