    Default Well we bought a new Car

    It is a suzuki aerio all wheel drive. It has excellent gas mileage. It is roomy and meets our needs.
    It cost $21950,00 canadian. It comes with everything (the only way the allwheel drives come). 0% down at 0% interest.

    The closet thing we could find in toyota was an allwheel drive matrix. Same gas mileage and similar features. Cost $31,000 and %8.9 interest!!!!! That car would end up costing us nearly $40,000!!! A new allwheel drive Honda was even more! A 1 or 2 yr old matrix was about $22,000 with $8.9 percent interest! It would have cost us about $27,000 dollars for a used car.

    So we applied and as long as we pass the credit inspection.... we will have a new working car....YIPEEEEE!!!! No more fading brakes....seat belts that don't work and breakdowns...

    Congrats on the new vehicle! What a great choice! Imports last forever.

    I work in the service dept of a car dealership and one piece of advice -- even if it is a couple of dollars more, have your oil changes done there, where you bought your vehicle. They are accustomed to your vehicle and will notice things (often covered under your warranty) that more general mechanics may not notice.The service recommendations they offer may cost you some money now but will keep your vehicle running much better for a very long time. They will also prevent bigger maintenance jobs.

    Enjoy your new ride!

    WTG! Now I'm going to have to get dh to check out Suzuki. We've only ever bought Toyotas. But that is just a huge price difference!

    Thumbs up

    Wow the full sized cello will fit in that WITH the whole family? I would never have guessed - my friend has one - not fully loaded - and its great for him to putter around in.

    Nice choice!

    We've been approved so we pick up the car on Thursday.

    Shorty, we actually borrowed a full sized hard cello case (empty) to make sure. and it fits in the back WITHOUT the seats folded down!
