Goodbye Saturn....Hello Malibu!



Tony has been looking for a car for a month. He has been very patient and picky on finding just the right car for him. His goal was to get a bigger four-door car with low mileage and a great low price. He also wanted a car that was a little newer then his 2001 Saturn SL2. I always called it his little go- cart. But it had great gas mileage and he has had it for about 7-8 years. It was a very good work car for him. We have had many memories in that car. We took it with us on our honeymoon. I remember trying to get myself and my wedding dress in that small car. I think it even went through two or three transmissions, but it lasted for a long time. Then when I was pregnant with Kayley and I had to drive that car to work one day, I felt like I had to fall into the seat to get in and it was a drag trying to get out of it. Finally,Tony found the best car for him at Randy Wise. I went with him to look at some cars and we found a 2007 Malibu. It only had about 90,000 miles and was about $8,500. We test drove it and loved it. The only thing we noticed wrong with it is that it needed new brakes. We had a great salesman. His name was Joe Riley. He was very honest and very nice. He told us that he would make sure that the brakes were fixed. We even got him to lower the price for us. We got the Malibu for a little over $6000. I don't remember the exact price. So, last Thursday, Tony picked up his new car and later that day we went to the Red Wings game. On the way there, Tony had to hit the brakes on the express way and we noticed to the brakes didn't get fixed. The next day, Tony took it back to Randy Wise and they fixed the brakes and now it drives as good as new. Now Tony has a great new car that is bigger and great for our family. Even though we will miss the little go- cart and the memories we had, we are looking forward to the many memories and adventures to come with our new car.
