Let me say this...I LOVED my Ford Focus. I bought it about 2 1/2 years ago and fell in love! It wasn't brand new but it was new to me...which is what really matters! Great gas mileage. It was a deep red...perfect for my OSU stuff (of course). And it was in my price range!!! But I've always wanted a bigger car. And I've been looking at Explorers lately. But working in a daycare doesn't make you rich by any means. And anything newer was out of my price range. So I was looking at older ones with higher mileage but that was ok with me. They were SUV's!!!
But instead, I walked away on Thurs night buying a Nissan Quest! Now, had the saleswoman said to me on the phone, "I have a mini van I want you to look at," I would have told her no and moved on. But she waited til I got there. And well, I couldn't be rude so when she suggested we look at it, of course I said yes. I barely sat down in the driver's seat and was in love!!! This thing had WAY more than anything I would have thought about! Leather, heated seats. Sunroof. 4 skyroofs (I think that's what they're called). 6 disc CD changer. Fold down rear seat. DVD player. Automatic sliding doors. Just all these gadgets!! And I LOVE gadgets!! And it drove so wonderfully! Oh my...I fell in love!!! But then I looked over in the window...and there was the price. Hmmm...so when the saleswoman asked, "So what don't you like about this Quest?" I said, "The price." I was being honest.
Well, needless to say, they were able to work out a great price for me...and when all was said and done, my car payment is now just $3 more than it was for my Focus!!! I am so excited!!! There's no doubt in my mind that this was God's timing and He had a plan. You can think that's silly but God knows the desires of our hearts. No, the car isn't important to Him. But I am. And I believe that God had a hand in this!!!
I wanna share some pics...mainly cause I'm just in love with it and I want you all to see!!
