Our New Blue Cars

I DON'T WANT TO COME ACROSS AS BRAGGING, OH LOOK HOW MANY CARS WE OWN!  THIS IS MAINLY FOR REMEMBERING, KEEPING THINGS STRAIGHT, AND IT IS PART OF OUR UNIQUE LIVES!  If you know Kade, you know he has a new project whenever possible, it is his thing.  I am just the girl that loves him, I want him to have his own things, because I have a lot of half-finished crafts he never complains about. :)

I have decided that I will look at our car dealings as a business.  We don't sell a bunch of cars, but we sell at least 3 a year.  For us it is a little money on the side, as a bonus it is a release for Kade. Being able to sell a car when money is tight has saved our BUTTS more then a few times. We look at them as savings accounts. So, I get extra money, and he gets grown up time...double plus. :)

This summer, I forgot to blog about us selling our 1997 Dodge Intrepid.  I was pretty sad to tell the truth, because it was a large car.  If we went on a trip we took that car because it got about 32 miles a gallon.  It was spacious enough to use with the kids, so if we needed to save some money we would drive that.  It was a really nice car, my favorite was the leather seats, only car we had with leather seats.  I was sad when Kade got an offer on it; he wasn't trying to sell it, it just happened.  But we made a good amount...so I wont complain. I say around, because I don't recall how much in parts we put into it, not enough that I noticed though.

So goodbye, Intrepid, I miss you :)

We have been driving our 1999 Ford Taurus around, we purchased it for 300 in November of 2012.  It needed brakes, and the power steering still doesn't work.  It is probably the most beat up of all the cars we have purchased (dented).  We haven't sold it because the power steering will be a hard fix...who knew?! I know we won't make a lot of money when it's all said and done, but it is Kade's work car and saves us some gas money.

OH YEAH, after Kade wrecked my VW bug he has been on the look for a replacement.  My dream car is a mint green VW beetle, I owned it, now it is gone.  But, he thinks all beetles are the same, they are not, but he is very sweet.  I'm a green lover, so I guess blue comes to a close second.  During 2nd crop of hay this year, Kade traded his dirt bike for this 1974 VW beetle.  Like, who's husband would ever do a thing like that, trade his toy?  But as you saw a few posts ago, he has acquired a new dirt bike....one that was a killer deal.  Anyway, it is cute, and may run someday.

But today we made our way down to Pokie and picked up this little 2003 Saturn Ion 2!  It looks rough on the inside.  It had a broken window so there is water damage, it needs a really really good cleaning...but I'm afraid the stains wont come out.  Anyway, it isn't running, we are waiting on a part.  But for $350, it seems to be a good deal!  I am super excited for this particular car.
