I feel like a little kid out exploring the wonders of the world. I got a postcard type flyer from my car dealership the other day and just tossed it to the side to read later. I wasn't really in the mood. Later that night my salesrep called to ask if I had gotten it. I said yes but hadn't really read it. I did let him know I hadn't thrown it out either. Turns out they are running a deal of buying back qualified cars. He was thrilled to see I was included. I laughed and said, 'my car is qualified after all the shit from this summer?' We both chuckled but yes it was. I have a 2002 Focus with about 42000 miles. I haven't had issues since the last time it was in and they finally found the problem. He asked if I was interested, and I asked, 'what can you do for me?' We chatted for a bit and I stopped in earlier this evening to hear him out. What could it hurt? A bit of my time?
I have gotten all my cars from the same dealership. This salesrep I've had for the last 2 cars, that is including the one I am in now. Both have been Focuses. Surprise surprise, but I love the car. It rides nice, great gas mileage, is great in the snow, and other than this bit of an episode with the fuel pump this summer I have had excellent luck with them. I went in today and found a couple cars that I would love to be in, but I am not going higher with my car payment to get into them. I would only be interested if the payment could go down. I did, however, find a 2005 Focus. It is the same exact car I have with a few upgrades. A 6 disc CD player, and volume control on the steering wheel to name a couple. It is silver instead of green, but it is virtually my car with way less mileage and 3 years newer. The warranty goes until 2010 and the monthly payments go down. Hmmmm no brainer or what? I am having him run the financials and if we can get it at the interest rate we want I will do it. I could actually be in a new car by Saturday. If not I will keep the car I have and sell it next summer and go from there.
So I am on the fence looking at the beauty and wondering if I can jump in. Time will tell and I'll keep you posted :)

Good luck D. Hope it works out for you. I have had my eye on a Ford Escape for a long time. I like the hybrid but we just bought an Expedition last year. Not really into the Expedition though because of the gas mileage and all..but it is a great family car. And that tag is really pretty! : ) GBU, Shelly
What ever you decide I hope it is the best for you. Sounds as if you know how to get a salesman to get you what you want. So, bet ya you will have a new car. lol. Hope your night was good. TerryAnn.

I was offered that deal last month but didn't call in time. I love my car, but not the payments or the lease deal. I should of gotten something cheaper. Linda
