The_Karen_Cooper_Incident Posted October 10, 2019 Share #1 Posted October 10, 2019 I'm not feeling it. I don't want to trade in the Ford. Car shopping is not fun. I KNOW the numbers. Someone just give me 28k please. Thanks! Mudkipz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsharr ★ Posted October 10, 2019 Share #2 Posted October 10, 2019 Rav4s are fun little car truck thingees. Mom has one, my wife is driving it while we look for a car for Wade. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisL Posted October 10, 2019 Share #4 Posted October 10, 2019 My wife looked at those too. They are getting spendy! A car she didn’t care for but I kinda liked was the Honda HRV. It got good reviews and was a bit less than the Rav. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddmaxx ★ Posted October 10, 2019 Share #5 Posted October 10, 2019 I like the Rav but one of the pluses is the Toyota dealership less than two miles from my house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Karen_Cooper_Incident Posted October 10, 2019 Author Share #6 Posted October 10, 2019 I have to get something that is easier for Tude to get in and out of. Like, right now. This is pretty much a minivan. I don't have to do this today. But I'm vulnerable by lack of sleep. Mudkipz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Far ★ Posted October 10, 2019 Share #7 Posted October 10, 2019 A little more than $28k. Maybe a lease? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groupw Posted October 10, 2019 Share #8 Posted October 10, 2019 I found a used previous gen Mazda CX-5 at a good price. Prices on the Mazda’s are often a little better. They have been very reliable for us and a lot more fun to drive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Karen_Cooper_Incident Posted October 10, 2019 Author Share #9 Posted October 10, 2019 I made a deal. Credit check now. On the bright side, I realize I do this in love of the most precious person in my life. Pat. Once the house is purchased, I'm buying something fast again. I'll go back to US made cars. Mustang or Vette. And I will buy a proper van so I can find solitude with Ylva. I'm still crushed about the St but I'll live. Ylva will have more leg room.

If he has vans, why does he need another car??? They can only drive ONE at a time. He needs to sell one van, and get the Rav4 (which would also lower the price).

Scrapr ★ Posted October 10, 2019 Share #33 Posted October 10, 2019 WoScrapr loved her previous gen Rav4. Once we got good shoes on it the Rav ran great in the snow. I took it once over the hill. I think they called "All Chain" about 10 minutes after I got through the chain area. I've never seen so many Troopers on the hill. It was a bit small in the cockpit for me but fit her well 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Karen_Cooper_Incident Posted October 10, 2019 Author Share #34 Posted October 10, 2019 Tude is really excited about this car. Which, makes me happy. I'm turfing AWWC's lawn with it next summer.
