Yup... That is about right for our family right now. We are trying to be a little more budget savvy at our house and we figured starting with cars would be a good way to go. For about the last 2 years we have been driving around the prettiest car.
We loved our Red Kia Optima! It was nice to drive, it was fully loaded, and it was beautiful! But, looks are not everything. We also were paying quite a bit for it each month. We figured it would not kill us to sell the pretty new car and get an older one that would be a bit more affordable. We also had to make room in the budget for a commuter car for Bryce. He was offered a summer seasonal position with the Division of Wildlife Resources. The office is down in Ogden. I do not love driving the truck and there is no way we could afford to have Bryce drive it down to Ogden everyday. A commuter car seemed like the obvious solution.
This is the "old" the post is about. We found this little Camry on KSL a couple days after we sold the Kia. It had 184k miles on it but we figured that was only about half the life span for an old Camry like this. My mom and dad have a Camry that is the same year as it and it has over 300k!! We are hoping this ol' girl will be just as reliable. We paid cash (only $1600) and brought her home. So far so good. We think we got a screamin deal!
