New Car
Got a new car- we had to go in debt for it, but God will provide us the means to handle it in His time. It wasn’t too expensive at all- we really got a good car for the money we paid, and I’m very happy with it. It is a Kia ‘Spectra’ I believe- a four door compact car, automatic, cruise control… as in many Asian cards built for size and efficiency, it doesn’t have the touch panel ‘fancy’ look of American cars but it makes up for it in having GREAT stearing and break work and handling very nicely. It also has great gas mileage and is a 2002 model with under 90,000 miles on it. Since its an Asian make, and should last a lot longer than 200,000 miles- at under $4,000 we were REALLY blessed with a good used car. We’ll have a mechanic look it over tomorrow to make sure it is good, but I get a good feeling. We bought it from a dealership and their reputation is built on thoroughly checking out and repairing every used car they have- we’ll double check it, but I think it will be what we expect. God’s got our backs.
It doesn’t have to be fancy or big name- it is a good car that should do a wonderful job, much better than the two bigger but OLDER cars we had that ate up a lot of money in gas and repairs. The only ‘problem’ it had was a big dent in the rear side from a past accident apparently, and that’s purely cosmetic. My old Ford Taurus looked FAR worse, even before its ‘demise’.
Thank you for all your prayers.
