We finally went to get a new car! :yippee: We did a little bit of homework at home and I'm so glad we did because it paid off!!!

We checked the interest on our credit union, checked for prices around town & decided to check out this one place that had 3 of the cars we were looking for since that would give us a little variety.

We were looking at buying a 2006 Mitsubishi Outlander & I noticed on the dealer's website that they had a couple of 2006 Endeavors too for $1000 more than the Outlanders but since we were really interested in the Outlander we didn't printed the on-line info.

When we got to there as we were looking at the Outlanders we checked out the Endeavor next to them & it became more & more appealing to us. The dealer told us that according to his paperwork the sticker prize was over $18,000 which it was more than we wanted to spend, then I remember the ones we saw on-line which were only $15,888... the dealer checked on-line & came to find out it was the same car!!! :banana: I am just so glad I made him check on-line!!! :cheer:

Then the dealer asked us about the financing part & Blair told him that if they could match or better our credit union's interest rate we would definitely give it to them... and they did!!! We're even paying less than we had budget for!!!

So, we came home with a beautiful dark grey 2006 Mitsubishi Endeavor & we love it!!! We are thrilled!! Though I do have to admit that I'm a little scared to drive such a newer car :errr: I told Blair that I was gonna be parking in the back for now on, that walking was good for us :lol:

Here are some pics of our new ride... these are from the dealership site, will take some pics of it in our driveway today or tomorrow :)

It does a bit :nod: It really looks brand new, it was a leaser but it doesn't have a whole lot of miles on it... used by non-smoking people! Blair said it was leased as a company car.

Congratulations Mary! I have a 2004 Endeavor and still LOVE it! Which edition do you have?

Thanks Melissa :)
Glad to know somebody that has one & loves it :banana: I believe is a LS 4WD... not big gadgets but we're simple people so we're okay with that.

One thing that we liked about it is that if a small person is riding in the front passenger seat, the car will sense it & turn off the airbag... I'm sure it'll be awhile until the boys can ride in the front but it's good to know that it can do that.

No kidding! I don't think my model has that (like I said it is 2004). I have the one step up, XLS, it has the crossbars and upgraded center console. I've been very happy with mine, I love that even though it is a big car, I routinely get 18/19 mpg. Oh yeah and the 5 auxillary outlets help too! :giggle:

We got that car mainly because it passed the butt test! :lol: I wanted a car that allowed for a normal size adult butt to sit next to Katie's carseat. So when we tested cars, we put her seat in the center and sat on either side of the carseat. We originally wanted the Murano, but I didn't like the way it drove, I thought the steering was sloppy. We also tried the Honda Pilot, which was nice! But we didn't want to pay sticker and wait three months :rolleyes:

So this is what we got and I couldn't be happier!
