Hubs started talking about getting a new-to-us car about a month ago. He's been driving what use to be the kids/third car after we got rid of his car but it's been having issues like recalls and check engine lights going on and off randomly.
So we went out yesterday and we came home with this..............
a 2014 Chevy Malibu
We got it from Enterprise Rentals and the price was right.
So the bulk of Hubs bonus has now been spent.
I wasn't expecting him to act on this so soon since we don't need a third car for College Boy until May but Enterprise was running a special on Malibus until the end of March so he jumped on this.
It was so much fun to see the sales persons eyes get real wide when they pulled out financing forms and before they could start pestering us with questions, we asked if they wanted us to put the whole thing on our credit card(which we pay off each month)or write them a check for the entire price. lolz
I guess they don't get many people coming in and paying cash in full for cars. ;-)
We put it on the card by the way, just to get the points.
Hopefully we have enough in bonus monies left to get our bathroom fixed up, buy a small freezer and seal the new driveway in the Fall.
I am dreading the bump up in car insurance we will be paying though. It was nice to only have 2 cars on it for the little while it lasted. 8-(
