A couple weeks ago, our 1998 Dodge Caravan died thanks to a blown head gasket. Instead of fixing the car, we decided to go look for a new one for Chrissy. We considered a bunch of options : the Kia Rondo, Honda Pilot, Nissan Xterra, Nissan Pathfinder, and the Subaru Outback, but in the end we decided on a user 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe. (We brought it home today.) It’s a silver V-6 AWD GLS model, with all the options except leather, and sunroof. (Just like my Sonata.) Chrissy’s really excited since she’s been wanting one of these cars since 2003. We almost purchased one instead of my Sonata back in 2004. Anyway, the price was right, the mileage was low, and the dealership was nice. (I recommend checking out Crossroads Ford at Wakefield if you’re ever in need of a Ford, or a used car. They were up front with me in regard to pricing and fast.) This car’s perfect for Chrissy, and is one I’ll enjoy driving with the family on the weekends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
