New (to us) Cars


And, to replace my Santa Fe, we found a 2000 Toyota 4Runner. Drives really nice! Shopping for it was quite an experience. We started on Thursday by driving to a dealer in the San Fernando Valley. They had one at a great price, but the interior smelled like a skanky hotel room; stale smoke, etc. Gross. Then on to another one. And another. The six more on Friday. They were either nice outside and beat up inside or vice versa. Very frustrating. Finally, after driving around the Los Angeles metro area all day yesterday, we settled on this one. As nice inside as a five-year-old car can be. The paint has quite a few little chips from rocks and gravel on the road, but you don't notice unless you're up close. So good deal!
