I guess I'm done car shopping

[Rock'n Robin]

DH decided this weekend that the timing is bad for a car. I really wanted to go down to a Saturn VUE or maybe a grand prix (although the VUE is cheaper). We have a 2002 trailblazer. I put it in the paper for what we owe ($13000) plus $2500 wiggle room. Not one call for a loaded vehicle, but there are TONS of SUVs in the paper. So DH decided that we should just put up with the gas cost for at least another year. He says that even though the gas cost would be lower, it would take us from 2 1/2 years of payments left to 5 years of payments.
To pacify me he is having my XM professionally installed (I have jerryrigged it for a year) and getting me a car starter. Hopefully when I try to sell the thing next year that new option will help. And hopefully gas and oil will keep on dropping! I see oil dropped again today.

You and I need to switch DHs.

We looked at a Vue for me but I want to get one more year out of my current car. Our mortgage will be paid off next Septmeber and I would like to not have a car payment until then. DH found one at the dealer that he thinks I should have, now.
