What a difference a week makes

It's funny to read the last blog post and see "I am not sure how soon we will actually get a new car". Because we sold Court's car this weekend and bought a new car today!

What a weekend though. On Saturday Court decided to put her car on craigslist to see if we could get a better deal on the car than a dealer trade-in. Immediately after listing it we got a bunch of offers and ended up selling it on Sunday. But we had to do a ton of research to make sure that what we were doing was legal and that we weren't going to get scammed. We even bought a counterfeit pen and laser-light to make sure that we were given legit cash. But everything worked out great and we got a good deal for the car.

So this morning, I decided to go make a low-ball offer for an Escape hybrid and see how they responded. We went back and forth several times and I finally got a deal I liked and so we bought it! We are so pumped. It has everything we wanted and it gets sweet mpgs! The navigation system is ridiculously awesome and we got 45 mpg on our trip around town tonight.
