Change er up

Well, we have decided that we are going to sell the truck. For a number of reasons really. Our truck is in amazing shape and it only has 52 000 kms, which is outstanding for a 2004. Because of the mileage we payed more for the truck and now since we are trying to get our monthly payments down, we would like to sell the truck and buy something that will lower our monthly payments. We have been thinking about whether we want a truck or not and as much as we would love to have a truck for the bed space we have decided to go with a small suv because it is the best pic for the dogs, kids and our lifestyles. A van is what we really need, and are simply the best all round family car, however there is no way Joe and I are going to be driving a mini van at 23 years old.

We have looked into most of the smaller suv's and we have found the one for us. We are in love with the Jeep Liberty. It is a very nice small suv, with a good amount of trunk space for the dogs. They are an outdoorsy suv and are 4 x 4. We both don't want an suv that you see everywhere- there are so many Rav 4's, Honda CRV's, Ford Escapes, the Jeep Liberty is such a sharp looking suv, and I love the look. It reminds me of the safari trucks, take a look at this one I found.

This is a 2003, however it is in amazing shape. We want something older anyways because the older the cheaper. As long as the suv is in good shape and the mileage isn't bad. We have to fix the dent in our truck and then we will be looking to sell it. I already put it on Kijiji and got many people interested. It won't be hard to sell the truck, it is in amazing shape other then the small dent, and the mileage is great. Also Dodge Dakota's are popular because there not quite a full size truck but there not a small truck either. Another great thing about Jeeps is that they are higher inside. All the other small suv's are very tight for head room and you feel very congested. I'm small but I still like to have a roomy vehicle, and clearly Joe needs the head space. I really want to test drive one because I have never driven an suv. I love how the Dakota drives, I prefer driving a truck to a car any day, so it will be interesting driving something different.

Hopefully all goes well and we sell the truck and then we can buy something cheaper and make our monthly payments decrease. This specific suv would be saving us about $200.00 a month which is alot of money really. Gas would be lower, and insurance probably won't change unfortunately. We will see though..
