New car or Not?

Good morning everyone in blog land. I am sorry I have been away from my desk for a little over a week. I was having car dilemmas. So here is the way it has went.

A week ago I got into my 03 Hyundai gold santa fe to go shopping. Put it in reverse and got to the end of the driveway, applied the brakes and the pedal slowly went to the floor. It felt funny so in disbelief I went to the stop sign which is two house down. I have very little brakes! So I turned left, went two houses and turned in to turn around and slowly crept back to my house. Put the car in park and went into tell my daughter, "I have no brakes."

In addition to this, the EGR valve was going bad, the RPM gauge does not work and the engine light stays on. I already got $3500 into this car in a five year period. I made sure it was well maintained. The dilemma is do I keep on putting money in it or do I hand it over and get a newer ride?

So after four days of corresponding with the Toyota dealer, they found me a newer vehicle in my price range, but it is red. In the past I have always had problems with red vehicles. So now I have a 2011 red Ford Escape with payments for the next 72 months. Hope to make some money with wealthy affiliate!!

So far so good and it handles nice. This is the newest vehicle I have ever purchased. I think it would look cool if it had just a little more chrome. I need an additional $258.00 a month. :) So now it is back to work with my website training.
