A New Car


Well, Philip came in on Monday and said, "Let's go and look at car dealerships." I was excited but wasn't too hopeful that we would walk away with a car. The first dealership we went to showed us the new Malibu, which we took out for a test drive. It was a very nice car, but we thought it felt too heavy.


As we were walking to the car we saw a Grand Prix.....I immediately got excited and asked, "How much for this??" I proceeded to look at the side and yes it was a "GXP", which is a rare treasure to find on car lots, because the GXP is the cadallac of the new Grand Prix. They are easily $7,000-10,000 more than the typical Grand Prix sedans because they have a different motor and are typically "tricked" out with many aneminities. My old car was a GTP and it was pretty sweet.


Well, the price was phenomenal for the car because it was a used vehicle with 13,900 miles on it. However, it is a 2008. We traded in both of our vehicles and put some money down and now we are the proud owners of a 2008 Grand Prix GXP. The insurance on it is less than we were paying for the two vehicles and we are getting a little back from the insurance company. Right now, Philip is actually driving it the most, but he says that it is my car. Guess he wants to get all the use out of this sweet car before he goes without driving for 15 months.

This car will be a very reliable car to take on long trips and it still has it's full bumper to bumper warranty!
