Our last brand new car was in 2014, a Ford Escape. We were going from two cars to one because my husband was retiring. Sold our Malibu to CarMax for a truly decent price. Very easy, too. We had a trade-in, an Aveo. Both Chevys were costing us too much in repair bills, too. Trade-in amount was good. Very low loan rate. Made payments for six years; was paid off in 2020. The climate crazies took over; gasoline went sky-high. I love my car. I’m going to drive it for as long as I can. It has less than 30,000 miles on it. I do not want an EV, & I am furious that these are being pushed/forced.

@neets458 28 дней назад

@@UserHunca I had a 2001 Ford Escape XLT. It was a good running SUV. I traded it in for a 2017 Ford Escape in 2019. When I traded it in, it had 322,000 miles on it and it was still running strong. I retired and wanted to get something newer. I miss it at times. Great SUV.

@CissieC41 Месяц назад

My boss bought a Ford suv and it kept leaking oil. She had it in the dealership shop so much, she basically didn’t get to drive it much. She decided to invoke the lemon law. Ford took her to court and had their expert get on the stand and testify that it was not unusual to have to put a quart of oil in the suv every day. That doesn’t say much for their vehicles. I will never buy a Ford.

Thank you for the road trips. Most of us will never get to see Alaska in person. Love your family

@ionecuff6323 Месяц назад

Now I know why I have seen so many vehicles here with Alaskan license plates in our area. I heard they have been coming down here, buying vehicles, then driving them to Seattle, taking the ferry, and then driving them into Alaska. Other than the price of vehicles here, they have mentioned that ours don't have rust because of our dry desert climate. I bought my 2005 Minivan brand new, 2 miles on the speedometer, and she now has 280,000 miles on her and still going. I drive her everywhere, even off-roading. LOL! I may be old, but I ain't dead, I still like adventure and to have fun.

Still remember the vehicle Bert bought and drove all the way home. Wow! that vehicle is gone. That was when you were still renting. Buying used in Alaska is still the best way to go. Hope all works out for the Best!

I bought a Honda CRV in 2007 sight unseen coming over on the boat from Japan. Best vehicle I have ever had. Thanking God continually for it.

@miatfitz Месяц назад

The CRV is a great car. We have one here in Tasmania. It has taken us through floods, unpaved roads, river crossings and snow. 😂😂 yes snow in Aus.. Hope our car lasts a few more years even though our poodle pup has eaten the edge of the back seat while we were on a road trip. While you worry about moose we worry about wallaby and wombats on the road.

I have a 2006 Chevy Cobalt 4-door no rust completely in good shape and it only has 90,000 Mi on it. And it's continuing to run. I only drive it less than 3,000 miles a year because I'm a senior citizen and the only place I ever go is to the doctor's office or to the grocery store. And it's been a wonderful car and I love it. I only paid $10,000 for it back in 2006 when I bought it it had 32,000 Mi on it it was a leased car but it was in great condition and it's still doing great

@user-hy4yo4em8n Месяц назад

I’ve always bought new. I bought a 2016 Honda CRV EX Touring, for $32K cash, sold it to Carmax for $25,400 so it cost me $7K to drive it for 6 years. The only money I put into was a battery and oil changes when the car said it was time. Bought a new 2022 Honda CRV EX-L for $38K put the Carmax $$ towards it and paid cash for the $13K difference. I pamper my vehicles and they are always in a garage, which helps with resell value. Jessica, I’m picky also on the color. I’ve had black before, but they salt our roads here in Ohio and it looks terrible until it is warm enough to wash it. So now I have had several White colored vehicles and that work out great! ENJOY your new Roomy SUV! 😊

I live in North Carolina and I am 69 years old. I have never bought a new car. The last car I bought is a Chevy Equinox and it was 2 years old when I bought it in 2020. I still love it. It is my retirement gift to myself. I always save my money so I can pay cash, because I hate car payments. It seems as if you make the payments and just get it paid for and it's time to buy a new one.

You made a GREAT color choice. We only pick black also. And the sticker shock of buy 2 new "to us" trucks in the last 2 year hurt!! But both of our previous vehicles were at the don't drive them stage. I felt the SAME SAME emotion as you both so I get it!!! And our vehicles were newer then we ever thought we would get but it was the same prices or better then some older ones we looked at.

@RickLBZ Месяц назад

I own the same car, but a 2020. Bought used 7/2022 for $46k with 70k miles. Today I am at 126k miles. Has been great, with zero issues, until the transmission started acting up around 115k miles. The 10r80's are known for this. Only other issues are cam phasers, but a 2021 should have the new design. Congrats on the purchase.

Congratulations on your new Expedition❤ I love the Expedition, had one for 7 years, and I bought it used with 22,000 miles on it. My husband, and I have always bought slightly used vehicles in good condition. The last vehicle we purchased, our 2012 Chevy 2500HD 4 wheel drive Silverado had a Z85 towing package, perfect for pulling our a38 foot travel trailer. There's a dealership in central Oklahoma that continue to call us because they want to buy our truck. Even when we have work done on it in the dealership garage they ask to buy the truck. Our reply is always no thank you. We bought it in 2016, it had one owner, 89,000 miles on it. It's a diesel, the engine was considered not even broken in yet with that mileage. Vehicles are pricey. Now a days you could buy a house in many states for what it costs for a new truck. We wish you the best with your new Expedition. They're excellent Suv's.
