Ever since I bought my first brand new car back in 1990 (a Toyota Celica GT) I have had this desire to constantly get a new car. There's nothing like the feeling of driving that new car off the lot, perfect condition, no scratches, door dings, funny smells... just a pristine machine.
Brief history from there...
- '91 traded in the Celica and bought a Mitsubishi Eclipse GS. I didn't really like the Celica, it handled horribly (remember, I was 25, it was all about the handling and power).
- '94 traded in Cdubya's old Celica ST for a new Ford Ranger pick up.
- '95 traded in the Eclipse for a new Jeep Cherokee.
- '97 traded in the Ranger for a Hyundai Tiberon
- end of '98 sold the Tiberon (moved back to Wisconsin, didn't want to move 2 cars).
- 2001 traded in an old VW GTI I had bought for commuting AND the Cherokee and bought a new Cherokee and a Chrysler Sebring LXi sedan.
- 2003 traded in the Cherokee for a GMC Yukon for Cdubya.
- April 2005 traded in the Sebring for a Scion tC.
And now I've realized the mistake that was. I'm not 25, don't want to shift, don't want a little car... but could I get out of that mistake?
Fortunately, the fine folks at Zimbrick Nissan needed to get rid of some of their 2005's. I was able to find what I really wanted at a decent price and will be picking it up tomorrow night.
Click here to see my new Nissan Murano. The web site shows the 2006's but they didn't change from 2005. Here are the details:
- Murano SL AWD
- SL Touring package
- Platinum color with Charcoal leather interior.
- floormats, splash guards, cargo cover, sunroof wind deflector

I did not know people actually purchased new cars over Invoice.
Should have waited dude :-)
HOWEVER - I love those SUV's. Have you started looking for the next one yet?
