So this week has been very interesting... I got the title in the mail to my 02 Dodge Stratus on Monday which I was very excited about! I was so happy that we'd be able to save the money that we've been paying for my car loan each month, but unfortunately it didn't last long. On Wednesday my car started making some noises which we took it into our mechanic. He said that it was going to cost about$6k to get fixed due to problems with the engine. I guess this has been a known problem that Dodge has known about, but never did a recall. My car was only worth about $2500 so that led Brett & I to go car shopping.
I really do like shopping, but for clothes. I dont like having to go haggle with dealers to get the price down on a car that's reasonable. Thankfully we had a good friend that works for Ford. He got us the employee pricing & I got a discount for being a college senior on a 2009 Ford Escape. I am in love with this car! It's so cute & fun to drive! Granted I dont think Brett thinks it's a cute car, but it is!!! I love being able to drive around & not have to worry about breaking down or my engine just cutting out on me!
I guess maybe instead of saying how much I hate Dodge I really should be thanking them. If they hadn't made such crappy cars I wouldn't be having so much fun driving around my new one.
