New!!

So the car problems started again... apparently I inherited the family car curse (thanks dad..haha). We thought we were getting such a good deal when we bought the Malibu and it was supposed to be a good car, until we found out it didn't have the original engine in it. So we were driving down the highway and it started to make some weird sounds and then slowly started dying on us. We were able to get it to the side of the road and then luckily we have some amazing friends who drove out to help us. Dalton came and got us and drove us to come get the Bronco to tow the car over to the shop. We get it to the shop and Dalton(who is a mechanic) takes a look at it and after figuring out what was wrong with it we decide it is not worth it to try and fix it because we have already put some money into it and we weren't even sure if that was the only problem with it. So basically it was time to search again.

This time we decided to skip craigslist and try out a dealer where we could get a warranty. So we were searching online and found a 2009 Aveo certified pre-owned  at a dealer in Pocatello. It's Peter's perfect car because it is red and a hatchback (which he loves lol) However, we didn't want to make the hour drive if we couldn't even get approved for a loan we could afford. So we called them up and got approved over the phone and then the next day Dalton drove us down to Pocatello to test drive and get the car.

So far I am really happy with the choice we made to get a car with a warranty and I really love our new car, plus the gas mileage is pretty awesome! When we bought the car there was a light on for the tire pressure sensors and when we asked them about it they said it was probably because they just put new tires on. So we waited a few days and when it didn't turn off we took it into the Chevy dealer and had them check it out. Apparently when they put the new tires in they forgot to put the sensors in. All I have to say is I am thankful for the warranty(:
