We Got a New Car!


With the weather getting cooler the last couple of weeks, it has become too cold for Brandon to ride his motorcycle to work. There were a few times that we had conflicting schedules when we both needed the car. The thought of getting a 2nd vehicle occurred to us about the time we had to put 2 baby car seats in the back of our Neon, and moving the front seats up so far that Brandon's and my knees were practically up to our armpits. This was NOT comfortable at all. Then came to scheduling conflicts and that was it... we knew we wanted to start looking.

We knew that we wanted a car that would easily fit car seats. We also wanted something reliable and fun. We started comparing all of the compact SUV's that we knew were popular. Having grown up in a die-hard Honda family, I always wanted a CR-V. We did look at the Ford Escape, Mazda Tribute, Toyota RAV-4 and the Subaru Outback. We looked online at several different websites and found some cars for sale in our area. We settled on looking for CR-V's in our price range. We visited a couple of dealerships in the area and test drove some really nice used cars. But we didn't really feel right about either of them. We were supposed to go to Salt Lake City on Saturday night for a play, so thought that with some extra time we would stop by the Ken Garff Nissan in downtown and take a look at their CR-V they had. It was beautiful and we fell in love with it immediately! It is the one pictured above, with the picture being the one from the website where we found it! It is four wheel drive, has a 6 CD changer, and the interior and exterior are immaculate! We were able to get a really good deal on it and couldn't be more thrilled!

Congrats! We looked at the CRV too, but opted for the Rav4. Hope you enjoy it, we love Hondas too...
