A New Car!

Yesterday was car shopping day. We were going in with the expectations of looking for a car and if we found something we liked (with the right price), we'd buy. We had planned to go down to the Irvine Auto Center and look at the Nissan Quest. I opened up a newspaper and saw a lease add for a Honda Pilot. I told Fiona that we could first check out the Pilot and then look at the Quest. We never got a chance to look at the Quest. Fiona, Jadon, and I went down to the dealership after lunch at about 2:00pm. We tested a silver Honda Pilot EX model. First we made sure that three baby car seats could fit and they did plus there was some good leg room. Next we test drove it. Not too bad of a drive. Finally we talked numbers and 3 and a half hours later, I drove our new car home. Negotiations weren't optimal but we we satisfied. The dealership was going to give us a crappy value for trade in on our Mistubishi Outlander, so now we have to figure out how to sell it. But hey at least we won't be driving a mini-van.
