But after the stress, general frustration, & ridiculousness of Matt's car hunt mere months ago, I was in no hurry for round two.
Still, with every trip to the grocery store, having to rearrange the seating- folding back down the 3rd row seats & squishing Katie between 2 car seats in the 2nd row it became more clear that this set up was exhausting. Add a road trip where we had Kate in half a third row seat, suitcases wobbling in a stack next to her, & a double stroller on the roof and well... I had to admit this was getting ridiculous...
God & I had a chat... I told him that I could keep driving my car that was nearly paid off or if he saw fit to bless us with a van, I needed him to make it easy & stress free.
So I was sitting in the Kia dealer last weekend, getting some warranty work done on my sorrento, when I decided to look up the guaranteed price on the van I'd already test drove months ago, as I waited... And then I took another look... And then I talked to the salesman... And then I asked what they'd give me for trade... (You know, just cause I was there anyway ;)
The price was CRAZY good...
The offer for my trade was 3k higher than I expected...
And when I decided to apply for a new loan w my bank to see how the rate was, it was the best rate I've ever had...
Hmmm
That does seem easy God. So after consultation w the hubby & kids and a test drive- we decided to make it ours!!!
That's right! I drive a van... Wow!! And there's extra seats now... Hmmmm
And it turns out that the dealer made a mistake... A $2400 mistake that they decided to honor rather than going back on the price... Wow!!! The GM didn't even tell us til we were signing the papers. I had thought that price was CRAZY!!
So blessed and still in shock that I drive a van!!! 😛
Looking forward to years of family time in it!!
