Happy 4th of July - Went on a Car Test Drive Today

Wednesday, July 04, 2012

I just wanted to take the time to send a Happy July 4th to everyone who celebrates and especially to those (our soldiers) who helped and continue to help us be such a great free country! emoticon emoticon

It was super hot even this morning but we decided since my husband had the day off to go and do a test drive of the van we've been looking at. We're attempting to purchase this car through the internet vs. going the traditional route which takes agonizing hours and high stress.

We both liked the way the van drove and my husband is about ready to make a move in a week or so unless he changes his mind.

We are grilling out although it looks like it wants to rain (hope our fireworks show doesn't get rained out although we could use the rain) and hopefully we will get to go to see the local fireworks later tonight.

I want to wish everyone a wonderful 4th of July and hope you enjoy it with your family and friends! Stay safe!

    Sal - LOL, that's funny about carrying my bulk shopping! emoticon It's a Toyota Sienna XLE. We wanted the SE version but it had less options on it than the XLE and was more expensive. We didn't want a moonroof, but all the SE"s in our area had moonroofs already on them (in 4 states) although they don't come standard so I figured why not go with the XLE (that also has that but it's on ALL of them) and also get heated leather seats and other options for less?

I just wanted a basic van with not many extras on it.

It's a nice van (haven't received it yet as it has to be shipped in from another dealership in the southeast), but yikes, not happy about the cost of vehicles, LOL!

    Hope your 4 th was awesome. What kind of van is it? Sounds like that would make it easier to do your bulk shopping as well! Sal

    We DID enjoy our 4th which was a quiet day at home staying cool. Hope you get the van and the new way of purchase is successful!
