I loved my car. It was my first new car I have ever owned. It had all the bells and whistles I could have asked for and more but my family had slowly started to outgrow it :( It did seat seven but the rear seats were stadium seating which meant that they had less leg room than the ones in the middle seats. As my kids got taller they started to whine about who sat in the back. Plus whenever my parents visited we had to take two cars. So....we started looking around for something larger to fit the bill for us and we ended up finding it. We test drove many different cars and I really liked the Ford Expedition but the one I really wanted, The Eddie Bauer model was just too expensive brand new. I couldn't justify going in debt again when my current car was paid off and I learned my lesson the last time about buying a car brand new...depreciation the moment you drive it off the lot :(
We ended up finding an Eddie Bauer at another dealership that was a 2008 with not many miles on it, the price was right and they would give us a great trade in on mine, so we took it.
I am so happy to have all the extra room and I am glad that I didn't settle for the other models that didn't have all the things I wanted. Leather is a MUST when you have kids! I was a little leary about having a black SUV in Arizona for our summers but I did okay with a dark blue one for three years so I figured it will work out okay.
I'll have to admit that I really like being higher up and surrounded by airbags, especially when I'm surrounded by snowbirds who don't have a clue where they are let alone where they are driving or that they are driving at all!! haha ~ urgh
Out with the old...
In with the new :)

Wow, look at you, all hotey-totey now, haha. To me it looks like the same length just higher off the ground. That is so fun for you though. One of these days we are going to have to get a new veh but our car right now is only worth $2000. Not much of a trade in at all so we don't plan on getting a new veh until we absolutely have to. The joys of student life:)
That was our thought as well. We figured to trade in the old one before it wasnt worth much. Im glad we did. The new one is wider and seems so much more spacious. Less fighting, which makes me a happy camper :)
