A NEW CAR!!!

Geno and I have been trying to sell the truck for the past 2-3 years, since he was in Iraq the first time.  It hasn’t been a continuous effort but with gas prices skyrocketing and spending about $100 a week in gas we decided it HAD to be done. Well we finally did it! We decided Friday night to go look at cars.  Geno didn’t get off until late so we just checked out a few dealerships but didn’t see anything.  We weren’t looking for anything expensive just something to save on gas and get Geno to/from work.  With Friday night being a bust we decided the next morning after Derrick’s game we would go looking.  After Derrick’s game we headed to the Nissan dealership (Geno really wanted a Nissan for some reason) we didn’t really see anything that caught our eye and on the way out we overheard two salemen talking about Deacon-Jones. Apparently another couple before us left claiming they could get a better deal at Deacon-Jones.  So off we were to Goldsboro (an hour and a half away).  They gave us SUPER TOP deal on our truck - all to make a sale. They paid it off PLUS some!  Normally I’m not for saleswomen but this lady was on the ball.  The first car she showed us was a no-go. Then she brought out the “old man” car. I call it that because it’s a luxury sedan.  It looks like what an older couple would be driving.  The previous owner was an elderly man who traded it in for a Cadillac CTS.  It’s a 2004 Chrysler Concorde. It only had a little over 31,000 miles and he kept it in such good mechanical condition it’s unbelievable, getting maintenance and the oil change every 3,000 miles. He even left a folder with all the work orders ever done on the car.  Anyway, so no more $100 a week gas bill. This car gets 28mpg on the highway and slightly lower city.  WOOHOO!!!!!
