Well we had decided on a kia soul back at the beginning of January. We test drove one and got approved then so we figured we would just walk in today and get one. Then hubby's best friend wanted to take us to the dealership he always buys from. So he went with us this morning, introduced us to his salesman and told him to work a miracle. This guy was excellant! We told him up front we had bad credit due to losing our house 3 years ago and things got worse for us after that. He ran our credit reports. Then he gave us some advice on how we could rebuild our credit. He had some really good ideas. He told us he was helping us because he was once where we are. He now has a credit score in the 700's.
To make a long story short, we got a 2008 jeep liberty. And I absolutely love it! There is lots of room for us and if we are taxing Kota's friends around too. Lots of room for groceries. And it has this really cool sun roof that extends the length of the car! It's like having a convertible. Oh mama is very happy! Our daughter is over the moon happy for us. She knows what a struggle it has been this past year for us. She told me it was great to hear how happy I am. We are finally seeing the light at the end of this darn tunnel. Here are two pics of my new ride. The pics aren't great, it's dark out and I couldn't figure out where the flash button was. LOL Plus I am a little shell shocked at how well things are going for us now. It's like a dream.
