New car

New car by Corinne S.

Yesterday Benjamin and I bought a brand new Toyota RAV4 to replace his 1996 Honda Passport that was totaled a few weeks ago.

I've never been involved in the purchase of a *new* car before and I'll admit freely that I was extremely hard to convince. But it happened.

Buying the vehicle outright, I've determined that this was my single biggest cash outlay ever. Our house had a *much* bigger overall pricetag, but I had less savings back then so my personal cash investment was lower for the house purchase (shocking in a way).
