[NSRCA-discussion] New Vehicle

[J N Hiller]

I've enjoyed following this discussion. I can relate to the quick lube
story. I went looking for a replacement F-150 and as you found no suitable
09 inventory here in the northwest, and had to order a 2010. It should be
here early next month. A ridiculous amount of money but I guess if I don't
spend it someone else will. I could maybe look at it as an inflation hedge.

I don't have a clunker to trade...
I said trade...not that I didn't own one!
:-)
I have a std cab, 2wd, short wheelbase, V6 F-150 pickup.  With the factory
wheels, tonneau cover and tubular
side steps it looks really good.  Oh and it's red.  It has over 100,000
miles on it and the book is quite a bit under
the $4500 CFC value.  I took it to a quick lube place yesterday.  You know
where they try to sell you everything from
a brake flush to nitrogen in your tires.  When I got out I told them don't
try to sell me nothin'...It may be a cash for clunker.
I thought I was going to have to fight my way out of the place.  The used
car guy next door even came over begging me
to sell it to him!
Figures, for the first time in my life I have a desirable trade and it's
probably #3 down the list for replacement.  Going to have
to buy a vehicle for oldest daughter this year and of course then there's
the Expedition I'm really wanting to get rid of.
Even when I told all these guys this they still would hardly let me drive
off.
Oh well..

I've read that if you can't find a car now you could order one and get a
voucher from the dealer so you could still get the Cash for Clunkers
discount. Has anyone done this to know that we can get a voucher?

Well guys...
Looks like as usual I'm a day late and a dollar short.
Seems like the "cash for clunkers" program has soaked up most of the
dealer's
inventory and along with it the deep discounts.
Looks like this will last sometime beyond Labor Day.
But I'm going to keep looking.

What I've done is convinced my wife she needs a minivan, then I just borrow
it. That way there's no Stigma attached to me :)  Of course, I drive a 99
Ford Ranger short bed which is not much of a step up from a minivan.

Dodge / Chrysler with Stow-N-Go seating. Plenty of room, drives like a car,
gets great mileage and it's comfortable on long trips. I hated minivans
until I bought my '05 Grand Caravan. Don't worry, you'll get over the
minivan stigma the first time you pack 4 airplanes in it. :)

I'm afraid it's time to bid our Expedition adieu.
Looking around I'm thinking about a minivan.
Yep, I'm really getting old.
If anyone has any recommendations I'd really appreciate hearing them.
Thanks!
