My trusty Taurus was about to cross the 100K threshold, and with that, lose it’s bumper to bumper warranty.  Since I drive 70 miles a day to get to work and back, I need to make sure that I have a reliable car.  So, I’ve been looking on the ‘net for something that I could fit into that I liked and that fit my budget.  I found the Fusion just might fit both criteria.  2008_fusion

I went to the dealership today to see what might happen with the following in mind.

    1. I have a car with 100K miles on it.
    2. I still owe more than a year and a half on that car.
    3. By the time the car is paid off, it will have about 125K miles on it.
    4. The warranty will be gone for that last 25K.
    5. If I can find a car that I like for the same payment I’m making I’ll take it
    6. I don’t HAVE to get a new car yet.

Armed with this knowledge I hit the Ford dealership.  I found the car I wanted!!  :)  a 2009 Ford Fusion.  And I’m only paying $25 a month more.  I’ll post more details about the car this week, I’m sure.  For now, just wanted to share my excitement with the world!!
