Cars, cars everywhere, and not a wheel to buy...

Isn't it amazing how many new cars there for just a handful of manufacturers. And how the prices vary! For just the base lines for the big 4 main manufacturers, prices can vary by several thousand.

We are in the market. Yes, we have decided it is time to trade up. Finally. Mind, it will be hard letting go of our lovely car - it could never be replaced. But it is starting to cost money, and to me that's the time to say goodbye to the most faithful member of the family (pity it wasn't that easy for others....)

With my job I have the opportunity to purcase two of the major brands at a discount (my boss is prepared to write me whatever letter I need to take advantage of the fleet discount, isn't he lovely?). This could mean the difference between a standard bottom of the range vehicle or an upgrade to something a little more luxurious.

However, and there is always a however, the one Him has his eyes on is not on my list of two.
I am pretty sure (about 110%) that he will choose the newer model of our current vehicle. And I must admit, I really, really like the look of it. Saturday Him has actually decided to take a day off work (he has been working 7 days straight to get some bills paid off, no worries with him being lazy) to come look at it. I am actually quite exicted at the prospect. It will be quite enlightening...

Although, if we wait until July we could get the new model Lumina at a discount....
