Old car to New car

We sold our Honda!

I had posted it on craigslist last monday and we didn't get one call on it! We couldn't believe it!( it was then pointed out that i put the number on wrong oops!) Then one of the guys in our ward asked us about it and said he might buy if he could get the money for it. We were hopeful and even dropped the price to $2500 for him. We were hoping to get $3500 since thats how much we spent on the other car. He hadn't said anything to us all week and we needed to sell it quick! Then another guy from our ward asked if we had sold it and if not he wanted it. We had him come look at it the next day and he bought it! He got it for his 2 teenagers and they asked if it had a CD player in it. BJ had a CD player, amp, and subwoofer box that I made him keep but we never installed it. They said they would give us $3000 for it if BJ put it all in.

 So BJ went to work. He is amazing when it comes to car stuff. He had that stuff in his truck like 3-4 years ago. We had to buy a new woofer and all the wiring but he put it all in. It took him about 10 hours to finish it all up. He started a little after 1. I went over around 6 and helped him. We got home around 10 then he realized he forgot to wire one thing and had to go out and take it apart again. I had fallen asleep by the time he was done.
Its a good thing he is tiny and super flexible. He sat in the trunk no problem wiring up the amp and woofer. I just laughed and would get his tools that he needed. He is pretty much amazing!

Here's the new ride!!!!

We think we  got an amazing deal! Its a 2001 Isuzu Rodeo. It has 115000 miles on it and 4 wheel drive. Power lock and windows leather seats 6 CD changer and sun roof. It came with a tow package but we think its for different car so we are going get a different one. My car seat covers and wheel cover match the inside so we put them on. It rides super smooth! This is my 3rd gold car. I'm not sure why my last 3 have been gold but they all were great cars! I'm excited for the 4 doors!! It was a pretty sweet deal! The only down side i've noticed is the hood is sun worn and minor hail damage. The back window doesn't stand up on it own but thats fixable. BJ calls it the "beaner mobile". It has big tires on it and they kit farther out and sits really low. For those size tires it should prolly have a lift kit on it. BJ tried to convience me that we need a lift kit but I'm ok with looking a tad goofy.  All in all we got our money back and its a great car!
