Our New Car

Today we bought a new car to replace Daniel's old car. We were not planning on getting a new car because Daniel's 98 Saturn has been running good for us, until last week when the AC went out and we couldn't bear the heat especially now that summer is around the corner. The other main reason was that it was due for the emission and safe test and we knew it wouldn't pass it, because the engine light has been on and off for quite a while and something is wrong. We would have had to pay a lot of money to fix it and the car was not worth that much. Plus it had 161,000 miles on it, and it was just time to upgrade. We were really blessed to find this 2005 Chevy Cavalier with about 78,000 miles. It is in great condition and looks almost like a brand new car. The main thing that we love about this new car is that it has four doors which makes it so much easier for the kids to get in. It also has a CD player and power windows and power locks. It even has a really cool feature that turns on the car by pressing a button on the remote control. To be truthful, we were not expecting to find a car this nice because it is only a work car for Daniel, and we have our minivan which is our family car that is really nice. But it just worked out that way, and we got a great price on it and a great trade-in value for our old car, so we just grabbed it and are really grateful for it. Now it feels kind of weird to have two nice cars and so new. Now we just hope to have no problems with either of our cars and just enjoy them for a very long time, because I don't like dealing with buying new cars. It is a big headache. Here are some pics of the new car:



Nice car, huh? Too bad that's not our new car. This is the one I wanted, but it's a little out of our price range. Here's our car:
