Well, at least new to me! Turns out our 2003 Honda Pilot was starting to go downhill a bit and our mechanic mentioned that we were either going to have to fork out some big cash to fix it, and at that point we would need to drive it forever because the resale value was steadily decreasing since it was over 100K miles or we would need to trade it in ASAP. We figured we would probably fix it and keep it forever, but for grins and giggles we went to one of our used car dealerships, just to see what they would offer us for the Pilot and were SHOCKED at the offer they made! So we did some quick finagling with our bank and within 3 days we were driving off the lot in a 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe with 20K and an extended warranty! It was a little sad to let the Pilot go, it was a good car and the 3rd row of seats came in handy, but the new Santa Fe is smaller, more gas efficient and has a couple of really nice perks (first and foremost being that the doors actually work and now children can get in and out of the appropriate doors!) So YAY for me! I love when things come together!
