The latter part of last week was spent looking for a new vehicle. When the Pruis was purchased it was a forced purchase. We did not a chance to look around, compare prices, or even see WHAT KIND OF VEHICLE we wanted. We pulled into the lot with a blown radiator amongst a lot of other things wrong with the car. It is time to get something that is GOOD for us. We do way to much living in the car not to be comfortable. So.......the journey started - from scratch. What are we looking for? How much do we wanna spend? New or Used? Lease or Buy? AAAAAGGGGGHHHH. The questions are endless. In an ideal situation we could afford to keep the Pruis and have a second vehicle as well. Don't really know if the ideal situation exists. So, we looking everywhere. We are crunching numbers. We are driving a lot of sales people crazy because we won't look at things we know we can't afford. We won't test drive if they can't talk numbers first. We have found 2 very nice sales people who we are working with currently. We have found a few vehicles we like: Chevrolet Traverse and The Ford Flex. We are not done looking however. Hopefully we get a chance to go back out and do some more looking today or tomorrow.
In the meantime, we have had 4 safety recalls fixed on the Pruis. We are currently waiting to have the computer replaced as well. It really brings things to light about why this vehicle was pushed onto us - when you receive recall notices every few months.
Anyway, I will keep you posted.
