I am getting a "Salsa Red" (I know sounds sexy, right?) Toyota Camry with everything except leather (which I hate) and a moon roof (which I can live without). They gave me 1500 over Blue Book on my trade-in and a modest rebate on the price. The best part? Lots better gas mileage, my payments will GO DOWN and so will MY INSURANCE! Goodbye SUV! This is the best decision I have made in a long time!
:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:
On edit: I forgot to say thanks to all of you who gave me your opinions about the best cars. They were all very valuable opinions and helped me make a good choice.

I did the same thing when I bought my Elantra. I look at SUV's with Support our Troops magnets as so out of it.
Enjoy your vehicle!

I do plan to enjoy it, but I will still sport my "Keep Daddy Safe" magnet. That's the only one I would show.

10. $19.5. Okay. Now, compute the interest over the length of the note. |

I'm not paying that much over the total price of the car. Is that your point?
I am happy that I will have a very dependable car with warranty that will hold its value. Because I am raising my daughter alone right now while my husband is in Iraq, this is what I need and I have the means to pay it.
Did I miss something?
