New Van!!!!

I am so very excited, we got a new van the other day. Our previous one had ended up costing way too much in repairs. We had a $2ooo bill for some work and then it needed a new engine which cost over $1000. Even after all that it still didn't seem to be running the best. It made a terrible high pitch whine whenever we hit 30 mph and then we had the air conditioning go. We didn't want to put more money into it so we decided to clean it up and park it on the side of the road with a For Sale sign. It sold the very next day! We were able to get slightly more than we owed on it. Then we found the perfect vehicle... only it was a few thousand more than what we could afford. Luckily, we are friends with one of the managers at a local dealership who was able to give us a deal we could not turn down! He lowered the price to our price range and gave us the van below the low value in the NADA and Kelley Blue Book. We wouldn't have been able to get this good of a deal from a private party!!!! We love our van and owe a lot to our friend! The best part of it is, knowing we have a reliable vehicle that we don't worry about breaking down every time we get in it.
It's crazy how some things just fall in place!!! We had tried to sell our van earlier with ads in the paper and everything, but we couldn't do it. Then all this falls in to place as soon as it sells. Wonderful!
