I have a new car!

I just bought a (relatively) new car this afternoon to replace my 14 year-old van!

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :bounce: :bounce:

It's a 2002 Honda CR-V EX with a 6-disc CD changer, cruise control, and a sun roof! B-)

4. It went relatively smoothly

We wound up waiting at the DMV for the seller's wife to come, because her name was on the title too and he didn't know she had to sign it too because of that. But other than that it was a smooth transaction.

2. Congrats!!!! I am thinking about getting one of those myself.

There was an accident here yesterday with a 17yo in her CRV. The thing was completely totalled, but the kid walked away without a scratch. That is one tough little car!

Drive it in good health!

11. We have an older model

99 I think - still gets 28-30 MPG

CRV's and RAV's are the SUV's that one should feel no guilt in buying. They don't eat gas, and yet, they do SUV stuff.
