Deja Vu?

We bought a van! I know, you are thinking you saw this post at the end of last year. Well, we upgraded. The van we bought was a 1999 and had a few issues with the speedometer and the sliding doors and a check engine error.

We saw a 2005 Odyssey at the Toyota dealer by our house. Ryan went to go inquire about it, and ended up talking them down 5,000 off the price and gave us a really good deal on our trade-in.

We are really excited that it has the 7 year/100,000 mile warranty on it still. It also has some better safety featuers like the LATCH car seat system (no more seatbelt threading) and front and side airbags. It also has fun features such as DVD, seat warmers, dual climate control, in floor lazy susan storage, sunroof, leather, switches from 6 to 4 cylinders for better gas mileage, an 8th seat, and probably more.

I am very excited. We were not planning to get one for 2 more years so we would be done with our other car payment. But now we have 2 'new' cars, an 06 and 05, and are going to keep these for a long time. Ryan was too worried about taking the older van on such long trips and wanted it to be safer for Natalie and I.
