I buy my very first new car

[memike]

Never in my life have I bought a bran new car ever....:glasses7:
But I guess at my age and everything and really can't
do any repairs on my wifes Pasifaca (2004 model) myself and new
that some things was ready for repair and maintenance at 148.000 miles
I allways save and pay cash for a used car or do a short note :coffee2:
Well yesterday I put my wife in a new safe car :cheers:
It felt good buying this car here in town
where well over 4 or 5 people's children I know work
and have been with this Dodge dealership many years
Keeping my money in town is a good thing
Plus now I can relax and do some road trips :glasses7:

nothing fancy but Treva and I are proud of it :blob::blob: :coffee2:

You should have seen her smile and give me a big kiss this morning as
she went to work

Before you ask :coffee2: $13.560.00 after my trade in :coffee2:

I go out and start her cars on cool morning
and I took these eary this morning

[OldmanRick]

:thumbrig: Very nice Mike! I'm sure Treva was on top of the world today driving her new ride to work.

 

[Dartnut]

Nice lookin' car Mike.
Nothing like a new car for ease of daily duties etc.!

 

[Dart_Doctor]

Nice mike im happy for yall !

I have always said I would never buy a new car, but I lasted 40 years never having to, her other car was getting close to doing some VERY expensive maintenance on it, heck a water pump on the Mercedes built MoPar costs close to 600 to replace not counting new tires axles and struts, I have it in my name only and I have a life insurance policy

:thumbrig: Very nice Mike! I'm sure Treva was on top of the world today driving her new ride to work.

Don't you know it Rick on top of the world :coffee2:

Nice lookin' car Mike.

You and I , and most everyone here know's what just one day can bring if something breaks down :mumum:and the cost to put in a 10 year old car just to get it running to sell, so I think it was at a good time :coffee2:

Nice mike im happy for yall !

Thank you Doc :glasses7: I went with white :coffee2:
We have long summers here in Arkansas and it will stay cool :glasses7:
Plus, it looks smart and I can use all the help in that area I can get

Yes I do believe I did get a good deal, I asked the sales manager for a dodge hat and he said Quote Not with the deal you got Mike
I did haggle one time with them and said I would go to the bank now if they could get it approved :coffee2: 1 day later they call and said get a check and we can do it :glasses7:
I was shocked when I called my insurance co (of 24 year) That no worries Mike
your insurance will be 3 dollars lease then they are know ,, I was shocked ..

 

[bernieca]

Wow! Nice looking car. Love that the rear looks much like the new charger. White really suits it as well. Enjoy!

 

[Arco440]

Thank you bernieca, I agree, they look like an A body 2012 Charger.
This 2013 Avenger will do everything we need and I agree :coffee2:
I looked at red, blue, and black and the white fit's this car much
better then they other colors, my wife liked the black but I swayed
her to the white and told here the down falls on black

Thank you Arco440, I had to put my foot down on the color and she ended up really glad I did :coffee2: we have about an 1/8 mile of gravel road and
I told her every time you look a a black car that has not been washed
in a couple days how dirty they look, plus they get soooo darn hot in the long summer seasons we have here in Arkansas :glasses7:

 

[65LoveAffair]

Why Mike, you got your wife a new car for MY wife's birthday! You shouldn't have! Just kidding. Congratulations on the purchase, and here's to many safe miles behind the wheel!

Edit: Looking at the second pic, I think Victoria might be a little jealous of you for paying all that attention to some other car!!!

 

[mullinax95]

Nice!
You can't hide money! Lol

 

[goldfish65]

Congratulations Mike, a very wise purchase on many levels. I am very happy for Treva. Every wife wants a new car.

And yes white is best and looks richest.

 

[memike]

nice car mike! congrats buddy!!!

Thak you bud :cheers: It's a good thing when we know our family
will be safe on the roads (grandchildren and her) as they enjoy getting out and about :glasses7:

very very nice Mike. it will be great on those cold ,snowy mornings ...bbbrrrrr....

Treva has already realized that She was use to a big SUV 7 seater to
get warm Thank you :coffee2:

 

[Wylde1]

Good for you, Mike. And good for Treva. That sweet lady deserves it. I don't know much about the Pacifica except that it costs Mercedes kind of dollars $$$$$$$$$ to fix them. The Dart looks like a good deal. Payments will be low and no worries with a warranty that should last you awhile. Sounds like a win, win, win situation all around! :thumbup: :headbang:

She has never had a new one, and she has been telling
all her friends about it NOW!! all I have to do is keep my sons out of it :coffee2:......
White for sure David :cheers: I was born at night but not last night Did Goldie get to the new owner yet ?

 

[grumpuscreature]

Screw all the "purty" stuff, which engine does it have? And why no shots of the important stuff? Inquiring minds want to know. Ya done good brother, that is one sweet ride. Now, the hard part is living long enough to pay for it. You're gonna kick yourself for waiting 40 years on a new car. Here's to many years of enjoyment and good service.
:drinkers: :drinkers:

 

[66340SEDAN]

Cool, I bet she is so happy!! That car is a nice addition for the place on the hill!! I have only bought one brand spanking new car, I actually ordered it in Dec 97 and the dealer tried to talk me out of it and and just get one similar from another dealer but I said "no", if it was gonna be new I wanted it to be exactly what I wanted. What I ordered is pictured below, the window sticker had "This vehicle was especially built for Keith....." printed on top, I still have the car, 1998 Dodge Neon R/T with 23,000 original miles, it is like new and it is babied and stays inside my shop :glasses7:
