We’ve been looking at used cars in New Jersey, and we’ve found a few that might
fit the bill. We’ve got a Jeep rolling up to 100,000 miles soon, and we may be
replacing that (luckily it's just a weekend and errands car, as we have two others).
We keep talking about it, but we’re holding out a little
longer. One plan is keeping the Jeep, and getting another car, since we won’t
get much on the trade. With all the
driving we do, we need to scope out those used cars. New Jersey, in the area I live in- you have
to have a car to get places. The public transportation isn’t that great, since
we’re in the suburbs. In the city, the New
Jersey transit is better I think. We do have train
stations, but if you don’t want to go into the city, they aren’t taking you to
the grocery store, ya know?
The thing is, the Jeep is the dog car, so we’re looking at
another station wagon or SUV for things like errands and the dogs. We found a
nice deal on an Explorer, but hubby wants to hang in there just a little
longer. I laughed and said, just until the Explorer is bought by someone else!
SUV pricing is way down, so if we’re going to get another one, we should buy it
sooner than later. Once gas prices start to drop, people won’t be so panicky,
and SUV prices will go up again. We have a car for commuting, and I have my own
truck, so it’s not an urgent thing. Oh well, I guess we’ll keep looking at the
used cars. New Jersey
gas prices are dropping, but I don’t think my honey is biting quite yet.
There's actually some great incentive pricing right now with Employee pricing back on new cars, and some excellent rebates and low financing. We're looking towards used, but some of those new ones are calling our name.
