November 1, 2011: New 2011 Honda CRV



I decided to go to the local Honda dealership to look at the Honda CRV, which is the car I have always wanted.    I took a test drive of the car and got a quote on it.  I wasn't sure if I would be approved for a loan, given the fact, I had just finished a credit counseling program and wasn't sure what was my current credit score. I told God that if I was meant to get this car, then I would be approved for my own loan at the 1.9% interest rate. If I didn't get it at that interest rate, then it wasn't for me.   I was shocked to find out that my credit score was just high enough to get my own loan, as well as the 1.9% interest rate.   I told my mom about it, as I didn't want to buy the car without her approval.   She reluctantly agreed to let me get it, so we went back to the dealership to look at colors. Originally, I was going to get black, but then my mom convinced me to get the metallic gray, as it wouldn't show the dirt as much, so that is what I bought.       I did enjoy my Honda Civic when I had it and was very thankful I was able to pay it off the year before.    The dealership gave me $11,000 for the trade-in value which helped me out.      I was so excited to go pick up my new dream car.
