Bye Bye Ranger...Hello Edge

Kyle went car shopping last week. We have been looking at different things and we had narrowed it down to a Ford Edge or a Honda Civic. Both great choices but I was leaning more towards the Edge because I don't like sitting that low to the ground.

We have thought about trading in our van but it lost alot of it's value and it wouldn't do any good. Kyle's truck was paid for and we thought we would have a better chance in trading in something that didn't have any negative balance with it. We had several people who was wanting to buy his truck, but we were not keen on selling to someone we know...You just never know what will happen the minute it changes hands!!

So, we found the one that we really liked at Parkway Ford. It had a really good price on the windshield the night we went and looked at it. So, Kyle went back the next day and guess what...the sticker price was up almost $4,000!!! Kyle still sat there and talked to them, told them what we wanted and told them what we would not go over. They told Kyle that it this isn't a perfect world so he probably wouldn't find a deal like that!! Well, after several hours of sitting there and not getting the deal he wanted,he left.

We had also found one at CarMax that we liked. Kyle rode over to CarMax and found it. He test drove it, got a better deal than we wanted, traded his truck in, signed the papers and everything within 2 hours....guess it is a perfect world :)! I love this Edge!! The sticker price was WAY LOWER than the one at Ford, they offered cash for Kyle's truck, it has more "things" on this one and the Salesman was much nicer!

So...Kyle bought a Silver 2007 Ford Edge with wheels (which Kyle likes), DVD player (which Logan likes), back up beepers (which I like)...and alot more goodies!! Kyle did excellent with this purchase! And I am very appreciative to him because he did sell his truck and he is now driving the van (he is such a sweet man)! And he did get us a GREAT deal!!

~Thank you honey~
