Daddy's new car

2009 Sapphire Blue Nissan Versa Hatchback



The state of Texas is trying to get all the older cars off the roads...

However, there are a few hoops to jump through:

1. Your vehicle has to be at least 10 yrs old - no problem, we have a 92 and 98.

2. You have to buy a newer car - within the past 3 yrs - 06,07,08 or 09.

3. At a dealership...which means you are paying more for a car, than buying from an individual. But how are the poor dealerships to make money if you go with an individual.

4. You can only get one $3000 voucher every 12 months - so are they trying to get older cars off the road or not? Which means we couldn't put our two old cars together and get $6000 off a newer car.

5. The interest rate on the new cars vs. the interest rate on used cars only changed the price of the car by $1000 over the life of the loan. So why wouldn't you go new with the longer warranty and your choice of color.

6. Plus, Katy will be learning to drive in a few years... 15 passenger van or smaller commuter car.
