A new ride

For more than a year now, we have been watching for an Excursion to drive. We had a list of features that we wanted and a price range in mind. We found one a long time ago that met the list requirements and drove to see it in Plainfield... To see it drive off the lot as we pulled in!

Steve found one this week in Greenfield, at our preferred dealership. It had all of the options we wanted: 3/4 ton chassis, 4 wheel drive, leather, DVD, split second row seats, Eddie Bauer package, and it fell in the price range we were looking for. We test drove it yesterday on our way to football, and went back and bought it in the afternoon.

The best part was that we had a price in mind to ask them down to. But Steve, in talking with the salesmen and the financing officer, found out that they had several mutual friends. We were offered a discount that was $2,000 less than what we hoped to talk them down to and almost $4000 less than the list price. We felt that God was finally saying this is the time!

We didn't trade in anything for the vehicle, this will just be an extra vehicle and something that Steve can drive besides his department truck.

Here is the new to us Excursion:
