(Please click on the photo to see a few more pictures.)Shortly before Thanksgiving, Michele's '02 Malibu that she bought from her Grandma Remenicky started to have some problems. After an overnight stay at the dealership, we found out that the laundry list of issues was going to cost a few hundred dollars less than the car was actually worth. We only had a few payments left, so we had to make the tough decision to fix it or replace it.
We decided to go ahead an replace it with a newer model. Michele is now the proud owner of an '08 Malibu LS. It's not loaded, but it's got all the features that you'd really want in a car like power doors, locks, and windows. It has remote entry, though it lacks a remote start feature. Cruise, CD player, and many airbags are all included as well.
Michele pretty much fell in love with it as soon as she took it on the test drive. Unfortunately, while we were test driving it last week, that particular car sold. Michele had her heart set on a black car, so we just tagged the next vehicle coming to the dealership. We were called yesterday and informed that the new car had arrived and we could pick it up.
Michele has slowly moved from sad about not having a car payment to excited about having her first, brand new car. Hopefully she feels the same way for the next few years!
