NEW OR USED .... ?

Okay, why is it that when you have all your ducks in a row a challenge or "opportunity" appears?  Now don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining, I'm just wondering!
    My vehicle for the last seven years has decided to go on to vehicle Heaven, well, actually I feel pretty certain we've decided that after Randy gave us the quote to repair.  If it was just a repair wouldn't be too bad, but there's also a safety issue involved.  Since I drive a very hilly terrain, guess it's time to put the last Mary Kay vehicle I earned to rest, it has served me well.
    So, now we must decide ... new or used?  And we really don't want a car note, of course the Grand Prix was paid off in July 2009, but guess a car note will now have to be added to the budget.  The salesman today was very nice, of course, told him we really weren't going to make any decision today since Carin and Dylan will be visiting beginning Thursday and we don't want to be rushed into purchasing.  That my friends is the highlight, Carin and Dylan will be here tomorrow afternoon (Rusty's at a fishing tournament), so we'll have a fun weekend, planning on SeaWorld San Antonio and then make the vehicle decision next week!
    Until next time ....
