Made a big purchase today.....

I bought myself a Ford Explorer today. I've been wanting to buy something with four wheel drive and I took the plunge today. I'm a little nervous about buying a truck while I'm trying to save for the wedding, but with the accident I had in the snow last year with my mustang, I just didn't want to take anymore chances. So I pick it up on Wednesday. Wish me luck!

Re: Made a big purchase today.....

Thanks, ladies! I'm just happy that now I have some peace of mind for the winter. But wouldn't it be just my luck that we won't see even an inch of snow this year?

Re: Made a big purchase today.....

It's a dark blue. But I don't feel like really excited about it. When I bought my mustang, I was bubbling over with excitement. I guess it's partially because I felt like I HAD to buy it, and partially because I get really nervous about buying cars. I don't know why
Oh, and then there's JT, who keeps complaining that he still has his old car. I think I might slap him soon!

Re: Made a big purchase today.....

Good luck with the new ride.

My next car will probably be an all-wheel drive car which will handle just as well... if not better than a 4x4 truck. I am thinking either a Subaru Legacy... the AWD Chrysler 300 (comes out in January)... or the Dodge Magnum.

I probably won't buy a truck cause they suck on gas... but I am not going to rule anything out yet.

Awesome. Congrats on your purchase. What model did you get? Did you get leather? I love the new explorer. My old neighbor had one. It is really a nice truck.
Good Luck with it
Scott

Did you sell the mustang or trade it in?

I did not sell the mustang yet. I wasn't sure what I wanted to buy. I broke down and bought an explorer after my dad went out and bought one. I got the lowest end model of the explorer because I just don't have the money with the wedding coming up in a few months and us looking for a place to buy. I figured that it's not so bad in terms of gas since my mustang SUCKS on gas. Plus, we'll be moving closer to where I work in a few months.
We just really needed somethign with 4wd. JT works for the news and can't take a day off for snow or anything like that, so we needed something that can get him there. So if he's nice, I'll let him drive it
