It is fun to get new wheels! Even though it's another chain around the neck financially. Not too bad, though.
For a while I wanted to get a truck too--we had the little Scion (which was too small for all of us) and a Ranger (extended cab, but still not particularly comfortable or safe), and I thought it made sense to get something like a 4-door Toyota Tacoma. But those are pricey! So I got my car instead. It is nice to have a truck, though, we miss it quite regularly.
Tacoma's are pricey! My dream truck is a 4-door diesel dually. Some of that is necessary (diesel/dually have more power for hauling in a mountainous region) the other part (4-door) is luxury. BUT! They cost at least $30k for a used one with over 100k miles. Soooo that's not happening anytime soon.
Thanks! It wasn't exactly what I had in mind, and the timing could have been better. But it's an improvement and should tide us over for a few more years.
Kias do come with a 10-year/100k mile warranty, but I discovered that it's only transferable up to 6 years/60k miles--the 60-100k miles part only applies to the original purchase. Kind of a bummer. But we have enough of the 6/60k warranty left that hopefully any major problems will show themselves before it expires. :)
I meant to add, I appreciate when the buying process isn't rushed. Otherwise I feel paranoid that I'll miss something, or agree to something that's not in my best interest.
