New Van

We got a new van this week. Traded in the ol Mazda MPV van and got a much newer 2005 Ford Freestar.
Pros about the van:
* its newer
* had awesome miles on it.
* gets fantastic gas milage
* its in a lot better condition then the mazda, no check engine light, the key actually comes out of the ignation.
* it has a roof rack and more storage so when we go on vacation the kids are not crammed in it
* it has dual heaters. that means i won't freeze when we are on long drives since i like it hot in the car and danny likes it cold
* there is more leg room in the back for the girls to grow
* Payments are less each month
* the rear heat and air work
* it was a fantastic price.
* the dealer we bought the ford from simply paid off the mazda. all 3500 of it. didn't even add it to the price of the van.
Cons:
* I don't like to color to much. its a gold color. its not terrible just not what i would have picked had i had a choice
* we were almost paid off on the mazda and now we have 3 years of payments.
* the cd player doesn't play my burnt cds. so we are going to have to buy a new stereo. I will also get one that can play my ipod.
* this doesnt have an entertainment system for the kids. so we bought portable dvd players
* the seats are dirty. they just need a good cleaning and it will be better.
Ok, so i think that is all i can think of for now. I will get used to the color for sure. we drove a purple van for a year and a super super gold car before too. at least this is better then those 2 colors.
