I Should Not Have, But...

The last thing that I really needed was another car and an increased carnote. But I have always said that when my present car gives me 3 problems, it has to go. My 2001 Nissan Maxima had given my an emissions issue at 42,ooo miles, a dead alternator ($697.00) at 62,000 miles (right after the warranty expired) and Friday it gave me another emissions issue. Plus my right front window and driver's seat controls stopped working.

Friday night and Saturday were spent trolling the internet looking at cars of all types. I even looked at a few SUVs. But, the fact that I have had 4 Nissans (3 of those being Maximas), I decided to take a test drive on Sunday. After the test drive and after negotiating for 3.5 hours, I bought it! This is the best car that I have ever owned. First it's beautiful. It's fast as hell (0-60 in 5.9 secs) and I know so because it's already been to 120 mph. It's comfortable. I gave up leather and a sunroof to hold down the price, but I still love it. It does have the SkyView which looks like a mohawk. It lets the sun in without the heat and air. It's dare I say it, nice.

The only issue is the car note. Lord have mercy on my checking account. I won't mention it because I will get a few "have you lost you mind" questions. But I can afford it and all that matters is that I am happy and don't have buyers remorse. Now, since my car note did increase, i'm gonna seriously cut back on my expenses so that I can continue to save money. But otherwise, I am seriously happy!
