Time to say good bye to my 1994 Mazda B3000 with 72,000 and my Wife's 1997 KIA Sportage with 42,000.
We traded in both of our 1994 Mazda B3000 Truck 78k and my Wife's 1997 Kia Sportage 43k for a 2013 Ford Escape SE Cobalt Blue.
This past week I was going to Lowes for my honey do list . My 1997 Truck has been shutting off while driving and I was coming up on 4 way intersection when my 1994 truck shuts off in the middle of the intersection. I looked up from the gauges and saw a 18 wheel truck coming right at me. I was very lucky my B3000 truck started and I barely got out of the way. It scared the living day lights out of me. I told my Wife about it and she said it is time to get rid of both cars. We have never had a new car together in our 26 years of Marriage.
My Wife Kia Sportage has electrical and brake problems and both cars were about to make us pour more money into both vehicles. I just spent $1000 converting my 1994 Truck over from R12 to 134A. We do not have the money to throw away.
I was at the car dealers from 10 AM to 7 PM Saturday working with Boniface Mazda /Kia vs. Kelly Ford and Kelly Ford won the battle. My Blue Baby gets 26 mpg in the City and 33 MPG on the highway and has all the tech toys inside. It was a no brainier to get rid of 2 old cars for 1 new car and my Auto Insurance dropped $50 and this made our payment 201.00 a month 36 months lease. I can buy Blue Baby for 15K or sell, trade or walk away after 3 years. I now breath easier when my Wife drives to work. Baby Blue is her car. I will be lucky to drive and keep it shinny.
