Our new ride!

With taxes coming up, we decided to see what kind of cars people are selling. We're heading down to Vegas and we would prefer not to be in our tiny car. 

Our old car was a 1996 ford Taurus. We got it together, a couple months before our wedding in 2011. A couple hours after we brought it home, we were driving again and it started over heating and then smoke started coming out of the front. We've had a ton of work into it and money. Plus, the things we haven't fixed are: the cruise control. It went out about 8 months ago. And the air conditioning went out right after we bought it. So we just decided it's time to get something else. 

We just started searching craigslist. Figured out what we can afford and see what's out there. We found a couple but we didn't love them. I found this one that I thought was a great price and a nice car. We got to test drive it. When we got there, it didn't look too promising. There was a couple dings by the tire and it looked pretty small. We still decided to test drive it. Once we got in it, our minds changed. It's bigger than we thought. It was a pretty smooth ride too. There's a couple minor things wrong with it, but those won't cost much. 

Because it is tax time, a lot of people are buying cars. So there was a long line of people trying to get this car. Since our taxes haven't arrived, there wasn't much we could do. Since there was a long line of people we had to hurry. See if we could get a loan or something. But with no credit, how? My parents agreed to co sign, but instead of going thru the huge hassle of applying for a loan, my wonderful amazing parents loaned us the money. As we were driving to rexburg to get the money, the lady we were buying it from texted us saying there was someone test driving now and she'll save it for us IF he doesn't buy it. That was the longest 45 minutes ever! We get the money, and on on our way back, she texted us and we could have the car! So after our long day, worry about the car, it's ours! It's a 2003 Kia sorrento. We're so excited! And so grateful for my parents to help us get it! We love you guys!
