Now if Greg had read this he would say DON"T buy the car from the salesman because he seems like a nice guy... that just means he is a really good salesman so watch out! and also... yes Hybrids are good for the environment yada yada yada but... do you know how many years you have to keep it in order for the gas money savings to balance out the extra cost? Many more then you will. So don't let "saving money" be your reason. If you want to save the earth, well, please do so...<BR/>What about the Nissan?

I'd be interested in interviewing you about what dealers are telling you about prices and what role gas mileage and sticker price are playing in your deliberations. Thank you!

Just had to respond to this car post, as Chris and I went through the same thing after having Alexis. Have you considered a Hybrid SUV though? Better gas mileage, good example for Aliza re: better choice for environment while maintaining the larger sized vehicle you want, etc. We got a Hybrid SUV and love it (plus I get to drive in the HOV lanes to/from work every day which cuts down on my commute from 1.5 to 2 hours to about 45 minutes to 1 hour!).<BR/>Anyway, just a thought as I know hybrids are a little more, but you do save money on gas. I love filling up next to the other SUVs and spending half the money. :)<BR/><BR/>Have fun in your car search! :)Helenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07081059039335729930noreply@blogger.com
