Thank you! I'm nervous with the so called bad winter people are already predicting. The sad thing is, no matter what the weather conditions were, I always felt safe in my X. Always. I'm not sure I'll have the same feeling in this car but I did want something totally different from what I had. So I definitely got that.
Honestly, if the X was not my DD I would have kept the car longer, no doubt about that. Gas and maintenance fees were rising rapidly at 160,000.
A friend of mine wanted to buy my X but he wasn't giving me a good deal either, and trust me, I was being fair. He was also lowballing me. And I can't stand the idea of strangers having my number and calling me about my car and wasting my time. So I took the easy way out. It was too easy tho. A part of me wishes I had sold it to him because I'm curious of the mileage he would've reached before anything major happened...I wanted to get it up to 200,000. Plus he owns several cars and enjoys working on all his cars so he would have saved himself a lot of money on labor, unlike myself.

prices so i struggled with deciding weather I should sell or not. But I believe i'm leaning heavily towards keep it because I know if I get rid of it i'll be sorry.
In the meantime I hope you will find some Joy with your new ride.  |
