New car.....
My car - the Carina - is done for.
It needs a new radiator and a new muffler - which would cost us £ 358. Chris and I decided that it really wasn't worth it for us to do because we'd been thinking about a bigger car anyway. Now with the dog, we'd like to be able to load him up and take him places with us and in either of our cars, it just wasn't going to work well.
With the in-laws coming we had made a reservation to rent a van which would have been £325 for the week. We ran across someone leaving who was selling a van for $950 ...so, cost wise, it was a bargain. It is less than what it would be for me to fix my car and rent the van and yet, it's serving both purposes. Brilliant.
We don't have it yet, the dude we are buying it from leaves here in a couple weeks and needs it until then, which is totally fine. But I did take some pictures of it while it was parked this morning ....
It's a 94 Honda Odyssey - it's the narrow and smaller mini-van. It's more like... a bigger station wagon.
It is crazily clean and taken care of inside and out for a 94 .
Complete with a Bayern sticker on the back there, just for Kema.
