The Lightfoots Have a new Vehicle!

Eric and I have been thinking for a while what will happen when our lease is up on our van in June. Do we go down to one vehicle or lease something smaller? When Chrysler phoned last week to say that we could get out of our lease early with no penalties we thought well lets go have a look. We were offered a new 2008 van for cheaper then what we are paying now.
We LOVE the look of the new vans on the outside, but the insides have much to be desired. After test driving the van and looking at better package options, and seeing how much more it would cost us to upgrade, we decided against a new van.
As we were getting ready to leave the dealership, Eric, who Loves JEEPS says what about a jeep? At first I thought he was being silly, but the more we talked about it the more sense it made. There was one in the show room we had walked by a couple of times. We opened it up and took a good look at it. Then asked if we could test drive one off the lot. They didn't have any like it on the lot so the show room doors opened up and out we drove with the jeep! The instant I was in it, I was in LOVE! The seats were made for me. There was tons of room in the back. Decent trunk space, etc. It helped that it was just Eric and I to take it out without the kids, we were able to talk about it better and get a good feel for it. The price ended up being just right as well.
That was Thursday February 7. On Saturday Feb 9th we went to pick it up! After it was all done we went out for breakfast and got a call to come back to the dealership. We were getting an extra amount off and our monthly payment dropped by $31!
We are totally in love with our New Jeep Compass.
