New (to us) Car

Well as you may have seen on Sarah's blog we had an accident and the Mazda we had is no more...
Last week I/we spent lots of time looking at cars and looking at reviews online, comparing millage and cost and reliability and factoring them all together to finally make a decision.  And we settled on....



A 2007 Honda Pilot.

The biggest thing (besides it being a Honda) that sold us on this car is that it has a fold up 3rd row seat.  We can actually fit 8 people in this thing! Not real comfortably...but for short trips it will be great!  We've already taken it on a road trip to Tennessee this past weekend and it did great.  We're super happy with it!

I did have to go against every grain in my being when we bought it from Carmax though.  As you might know Carmax doesn't negotiate on their price.  I did find, though, that their sticker price is lower then the starting price at dealers by a significant amount.  I looked around at other dealers and didn't find any Pilot that we could have gotten a better deal on.  We have a friend who works there and he was great, super nice and informative!  His name is Nathan Aylestock if anyone is interested in buying a car at Carmax! 

Here's hoping this Honda is with us for many years to come!
