Well...our patience and faith finally paid off! We have been worrying for months how we were going to afford a car for Taylor. We're in full FPU (Financial Peace University) and do not want to finance anything and we didn't have the money saved. We were able to work out a deal with the company (Nolan's) for an advance on some money they owe us, which is awesome so we don't have to have a car pmt! Taylor really needed to have her own car. Firstly because I cannot afford to fill up the tank on my Expedition 3 times a week because of all her running around...secondly, with Taylor's busy schedule (varsity cheer, student council, etc.) she really needs to be able to get herself where she needs to go, when she needs to go...Thirdly, as of the second school semester, she will have a P.A. first hour and would have lost her ride to school...and lastly, I want MY vehicle back, LOL!!
We were fortunate enough to find this car from our neighbor right around the corner from us! It's a little 2002 Ford Focus Hatchback! They bought it new and both of their kids (who are now in college) drove it thru their high school years. It's obvious from the records that they took very good care of it. It would be nice if this car could get her thru the rest of high school and maybe even college! It's got leather seats, cd player/stereo, cruise control, FWD, sun roof, etc...Hey...it's much better than my first car, LOL! It does have one dent on the rear driver's side door...but as a first car (in a high school parking lot), it's bound to get a few dings and dents anyway!
