Got a new car!

Well, I'm in the process of selling my svx. Bought a new Mazda CX-7.
What I had been spending to keep the svx going was costing me too much. And the stress and worry that it would die or breakdown on some lonely highway in the middle of nowhere necessitated the purchase of something newer.

Though I never expected to come home w/ a new car.

Will keep checking up here once in a while....I will be curious to see if the new owner will come to any meets.

No faith. And, you don't know how to take care of your SVX, well enough. You don't know her so you sold her...you don't know her enough so you worried she stopped...

But sometimes I have a thought like yours, cost to maintain the car can probably afford a new car's installments.

Anyway, I have seen the CX-7 at the showroom...at a moment I think it looks like or more prettier than the Murano's front ... the CX-9 is coming out soon also. Have fun.

Even the new will leave you stranded and cost just as much to fix unless it is a brand spanking new one with the warranty.New don't mean it is good.

I have to assume that since it is a CX-7, it is new and with a warranty...
