Out with the old....and in with the new

There has been one thing that has held our whole family back from traveling to China. My old van is just short of 145,000 miles. It is a 2002 that we have had for over four years. It has been a very reliable ride, but the last year things have started falling apart on a regular basis. The AC started blowing cool to more warmish air last summer. After a trip to the service department it never did really cool off completely and on those super hot and humid days....well I guess some warm air circulating rather than hot air is an improvement.



Then just before Christmas, I had to pay over $1200. to have a new head put on the motor. Ouch! That took it's toll on Christmas. There have been two other things here of late that have each cost me $250./each. So we decided it was time to roll out with the old....and in with the new. Okay, newer to us!



The new to us ride is a 2007 with only 19,345 miles! It is also a limited, so it has all the bells and whistles, plus a sunroof! It is a prettier blue and has off white seats. That should make it cooler just to look at! Look out road trips....here we come!!
