New Car

Well, after 11 years driving the same ole Dodge Caravan… replacing the transmission… TWICE… and putting about 200,000 miles on it… the thing has finally gotten to the point where some silly “O2 Sensor” is causing it to not pass inspection, and it’s going to cost more to get it fixed than the van is worth at this point…. so… out with the old, and in with the not-quite-so-old.

Specifically, this new (to me) blue 2002 Mercury Sable.

Kelley Blue Book lists it at $6,300, while I got it for $5,800 (TTL)… Not a spectacular deal, but little hassle, and that’s what I like.

I’ll have more pics posted in the next couple days as I have time.  Seems to drive/handle well, and I plan on getting to Brad (my guy at the Shell Station tomorrow to have him look it over - got the extra day in the contract, of course).
