Cars

It is time in the Buckley family for a new addition. My wife's current PlastiVan is nearing the 100k mile mark where it loses value because of the stigma of 100k on the clock so we have ramped up efforts recently into what vehicles fit her requirements.

Her number one requirement is that the new vehicle is not a minivan. While she is a soccer mom, she doesn't want a soccer mom's ride so no minivan. The next thing is it needs to have a third row of seats so she can split up the munchkins and have room to haul their friends if needed. She needs a good warranty and most of all Gramps needs to approve of it.

So after test drives and internet research there were two vehicles that meet the needs. The Hyundai Santa Fe and the Mitsubishi Outlander. Now comes the part I really dread...dealing with the car dealer. Ugh.
