Default Saying Goodby is sometimes hard....

So as of today the Lex that I paid $4600 for and drove for the past 2 years is gone. The federal government decided that it was worth $4500 to them.

I have been looking at a replacement second car for some time. I drove several and decided a small crossover SUV would be a good fit for my needs. After looking at and driving several of them I decided on a Nissan Rogue SL AWD.

I went out last night and took care of the paperwork and picked up the Rogue this afternoon.

So it was not that hard to say goodby to the SC and it's 14mpg.

The picture below is not mine, but that is what mine looks like.

Nice pick up Garret. Our paper delivery guy got one last year and loves it. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts after you've had it a while.

Not a bad turnaround on a car for owning it two years, I have a friend who bought an old explorer for 800$ and cashed it in as a 4500 down payment. Taking advantage of the system

Great Garret, not bad for owning it for 2 years with the net cost of $100. I like your new rig, and you'll like the AWD this winter...great choice.

I am not an anti-Nissan person. I test drove plenty of cars to find the right car and it met the most of my needs.
