During our getaway in Texas, the package that we got for our travel, included a Town and Country van to drive around. My husband love it that when we came back, he looked for the same vehicle for sale. We found a used one at Staffilino dealership in Ohio. It has a 21,747 and was valued $2,000 less than it's value from the blue book so we jumped on the deal.
With our kids growing up, our Honda Accord is getting smaller for us especially when we bring our dogs with us. My husband has been talking to me about buying a van for the last couple of years but I kept saying no. For one, I did not want the stress of having a monthly car loan payment and second, I am terrified of driving. I had my license from 8 years ago but I drove maybe 5 times on those years.
Don't raise your eyebrows on me, I never drove in my life till I met my husband. I used to live in my country where public transportation is everywhere and only rich people have their own car. When I came here in the US, I have to have a license because most of the times, business establishments ask for it whenever you deal a business with them.
This 2012 Town and Country Touring is a 4 wheel drive and lots of features that we like. What I like the most is the back up camera as I am horrible in backing up. In fact, I hate the parking part of driving. Driving on the road is not a problem for me but the parking. I am also have a horrible sense of direction so I could never drive farther than Weirton.
This is a fully loaded van which is why even if it is a Chrysler one, hubby likes it. He prefers Honda car so I was really shocked that he liked this one
This van is a stow and go with foldable seats, sliding doors, and lots of other neat features such as DVD player with monitor for the kids to watch their movie. It's a nice van, I must admit. I just hope that I could shake off this fear of driving that I have in me. I took them for a short drive yesterday and I was so nervous. Luckily, we didn't wreck so that was a good start lol. So wish me luck!
This is by the way one of my husband's birthday gifts to me aside from the trip to Texas. Thanks Hon!
Sweet mommyvan! I have a 2002 Town and Country, and yours is super awesome!
ReplyDeleteVery spacious interior, has all the toy too :-)
ReplyDeleteI am always a fan of vans and SUV's ... so, this is a thumbs up for me. It is really spacious ...great for road trips.
ReplyDeleteI am very glad to hear it has the back up camera!! That is a big and spacious car--as for parking--well after umpteen years of driving I am still not all that good at parallel parking!!!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like it is in great condition. We take our dogs a lot too so we have a small suv. It makes it easier when you have a family to have the room. I do not drive unless I have to either!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I could ever own a minivan. I prefer SUV's.
ReplyDeleteWow! Nice gift and looks like it has a lot of nice features
ReplyDeleteGood for you! You will get more confident the more you drive. The van is really nice.
ReplyDeletewhat an awesome vehicle gorgeous
ReplyDeletecool minivan! i dreamed of having my own honda pilot i hope my hubby will give me one too on my birthday. lol
ReplyDeleteWow I love it! Looks very spacious! What a great present from the hubby!!
ReplyDeleteThat's a nice and roomy van! Perfect for a growing family. We need one, too!
ReplyDeleteLove the color, and the new car. It surely has more space for everyone.
ReplyDeleteNice van and have lots of features. That would really a good vehicle for driving long distance as it has lots of room.
ReplyDeleteAwe! That is so awesome mommy Rose. I love the interior of the vehicle and lots of space too. We could surely use a vehicle that has lots of space. Someday we will be shopping for another car that has a lot of room and we want a big ole truck that can haul a trailer or an RV too... I test drove a huge Ford Truck months ago and my heavens I loved it. It had a lot of room too. Never tested a Chrysler though. I love the camera too so you can see what's behind you. So handy! Don't worry mommy, I am like you I get nervous too while driving, but we gotta drive. Can't drive that really far distances still though. :)
ReplyDeleteWow! thats really cool and you got the best deal too. I love the color and yes this kind of vehicle is roomy and perfect for traveling.
ReplyDeletesweet ride sis! drive safely.:)
ReplyDeleteVery nice family vehicle. Love a vehicle that has more rooms especially with kids.
ReplyDeleteWOW! you are so lucky for having your honey :) nice van!
ReplyDeleteThat is perfect for your family,, happy and safe driving..
ReplyDeleteCongratulations once again on your newly purchase van mommy Rose.. I love that it is so spacious. We would love something like this, but since we love to go on vacations and go on a rough road trail we needed something like a JEEP and so we did. Looking good mommy.
