2003 Honda CRV EX .

it was time to get her out of her little 1996 honda prelude lol.

she finally has a radio/cd player. I am really happy for her. Not a bad ride for 13,500! Employees get the opertunity to get the managers old company cars for the price the dealer buys them back for before the dealer re-sells them. This year and model is currently going retail for 17-19k.. so it was a great deal for her.

Mobile herf... hell... smashie and i was lucky enough to get her to take our drunk a**es home in it saturday night let alone smoke a stogie haaaaaaa

She came pulling in the parking lot the other day when i was walking the dog and here face was just beaming!!! I'm really happy for her. Its funny how good a new vehicle can feel. When you have been driving junk for so long it feels even better.

The ride to CigarFest will be fun.

I think there'll be room in the back for the "bridesmaid" if you put the seat down (and if Ram will let her go....)

Nice. I am starting to look around for a new vehicle. This is one on my list. I really like the Sante Fe from Hyundai. And the Rav4 from Toyota. I have to wait until JHC's truck is paid off in December though before I can buy one. I can't wait. Let me know how she likes this one. I guess I will get to see it in July. But then again, if she won't let you smoke in it, I don't think you will be driving it.

Steve,

I dont think we are going to make it. We have a pretty big trip planned for the week of July 1st/4th. We told ourselves only 1 trip this year haaaa. Last year we got a little crazy.

I think i may have a turkey hunting trip that week too.. When is it?

My Vp got us/her haa haa Club seat tickets to see Tim Mcgraw and Faith Hill on April 21st.

I would love to be there.... tickets.. room... it adds up after a while.

StogeeBoy,

Her prelude was a 1996 with 145k miles. The sun roof has recently quit working,(they wanted 1500$ to fix it...sorry not going to happen) it had one speaker that worked, and a tape deck, ....seeing that women..at least my woman did not realize that if you dont take care of your aluminum rims they wont look good for long.. and it had rust starting on the trunk lid over both rear wheel wells and along the bottom of both doors....

The dealer gave her 2k for it. We could have put a little money into is and probably sold it private for 4, but didnt really want to hastle with it, and knowing our luck.. but the time we got it sold the tranny or something stupid would go out haaaaaaaa. She only owed 2800 on it, so we paid the difference down with cash. It all worked out pretty good. Expecially when she was getting the CRV as 4-5k under retail.

sorry for the long answer for such a simple question..just kid of bored !! haaa lol

Damn, the old Honda had that much body rot in 10 years!!!

yea.. i still have my 96 accord that i use for a run around car and it doesnt have any rust at all.

I was suspect that there was some "work" done on it.. before she got it.

But then again she was never much for washing the thing! I would get on her all the time to wash it.

Thanks Jet.. thats good news.

I have always tried to get vehicles that a company has made a lot of. It seems if they have made a vehicle for a quite a few years..they tend to work a lot of the bugs out, and you dont tend to have as many problmes with them.

Thats my 03 Grand Prix in the top right corner. Another car GM has made a lot of and have never really heard nothing but good things about. It was my dads old company car. It had 130k miles on it when i got it last fall. He traveled a lot for work, mostly all highway miles. I got it for $2,500. I figure i should get at leat two good years on it. Two years without a car payment is great!!!
