We Have A New Car!

My brother traded in his old car and got us an SUV. It's a Kia Sedona and it is so pretty. I love it. The picture on this post isn't our car but it looks just like it. I say 'our' but it's really my brother's car. But I will be able to use it when I need to. I am so happy for him. He was kind of frazzled when he first came home because he had to work all day on a Saturday, then he was at the dealership for hours. It didn't really sink in with him until a few hours and a couple of glasses of wine later...lol.

Getting a new vehicle is always exciting, especially when it is pretty close to new. Our vehicles are 1998's

It really is exciting. I don't have a car and I will be able to drive it when needed.

Very nice! Ha ha I know that not sinking in feeling when you get that new car - it's like did I really buy a new car? Well good for him and good for you - it's a relief to get a car you can rely on and that it looks great too. Enjoy your new ride!

@simone10 Awww - we all miss our old cars. I miss mine, but I don't miss the stress it gave me in the end. The good thing is we soon get over it and can completely enjoy the new car!!

It finally did sink in with him yesterday. I think he was grieving a little for his old car. It was in excellent shape and the only reason he traded it in is because the car note was really expensive.

@much2say That's true! He is already over it and is so glad that he traded it in now.

I believe thats actually a mini van. It was one I looked at while shopping for another mini van. I wound up buying a 2002 Honda Odyssey that was in excellent shape.

No, it's actually an SUV. The picture does make it look like a minivan. It only seats 4-5 people. The back is just for cargo.

@shaggin Probably so. I agree though that from the outside, it looks like a mini-van.

It sure looks like a beauty! The nice thing about having a family truckster (that's what I call these types of vehicles) is that they are so versatile and convenient and adaptable for the whole family. I hope you and your brother get many good years out of it!

Thank you! It looks like a van from the outside but I found out last night from my brother that it's a crossover. He tried to explain it to me but I didn't really understand. All I got is that it's a cross between a regular car and a mini-van.

@moffittjc I agree that it looks like a mini-van from the outside. On the inside, it only fits 4-5 people. The back is the cargo area.

@simone10 Hmmm...from the photo it doesn't really look like a crossover, it looks more like a minivan, but the styles are changing so much these days that it's hard to know what is what!

How beautiful! It's really fun to drive a new car. When it's the only car of the household, it would feel like yours as well.

Great looking car, I am sure you will love driving it and get many years of good service. I haven't bought a new car in many many years but our used cars have served us well.

There is nothing wrong with a used car. That is what I had before I moved to Vegas.
