Our New Car-Our 2nd BIG Purchase!

Ben’s parents gave us our first car when we got married and we could not have been more grateful. For over a year it got us from point A to point B and we were able to avoid getting our own and having a car payment. It was coming time for the registration and we knew the car was having some problems that we would need to fix. It turned out the repairs would cost more than the car was even worth, so we went car shopping the first week of August!

Car shopping is so frustrating with annoying and pushy dealerships, when you are on a budget they just don’t seem to care about. We went to a couple different ones and barely set foot in the lot before we were dying to get out of there. The 3rd time out to a dealership was a charm and we were able to work with a very helpful and amazing car salesman at the Saturn North dealership. If you live in Northern Colorado, I highly recommend him! His name is Warren Kullick. He treated Ben and I like gold and really respected our needs and wishes, and made the car buying experience a good one. Many of the cars we looked at in our price range were in the 2002 year with 100,000 plus miles on them. Lucky for me, along with having a great salesman that did all he could to work with us, I also worked at a car dealership my senior year of High School and I know a thing or two about the value of a car as well as what they are generally willing to go down in price for to make a sell. We found this 2008 Chrysler Sebring with 30,000 miles on it, that was originally close to $20,000 . It was on sale for a significant amount less than that, but I still wanted to keep within our budget. I thanked Warren for his time, but told him we really just needed to keep it within that budget. He went back in to talk to his supervisor-yet again-and came back with a price within our budget and let me tell you-it was a steal! It was a done deal in our books! I was so grateful we were able to finally find such a great car. We have absolutely LOVED our Sebring and have been car problem free for about 4 years now.

Meet “the Black Pearl”. We may or may not have played Pirates of the Caribbean in it a time or two in honor of its name.
