The hunt is on

Well, we have been hunting for the new family car. Steven has had a lot of fun. Matt just needs to know where to sign. Lucky for me I have some very patient friends who don't mind that I want to look at EVERY car. I went searching for 2 particular cars & wound up falling for a totally different car.
For quite some time now, I have gravitate towards the Buick Rendezvous & the Saturn Outlook. So when I set out 2 weekends ago, I really thought this is what I would buy. Well the Outlook is just too new that they don't have many used cars to choose from & what they did have was not in our price range. The Rendezvous is apparently a great SUV. So great that no one trades them in! I only found 3 all of which had a ton of miles on them & therefore off the list. So among my list of "OK I guess I'll look at them" were Toyota Highlander, Ford Explorer or Expedition, Mercury Mariner, Chevy Trail Blazer & even a minivan (@Matt's request). After searching high & Low, Steven & I fell in love with the Trail Blazer EXT. It's awesome & has few extras that we didn't find in the other SUVs. It has a 3rd row seating that comes up from the back & climate control in the back 2 rows. Don't forget a plug for DVD players & charging the DS-es.
Now that I had found the type of car we wanted..... It was time for the big purchase. But where to go??? Let the bidding wars begin...... To Be Continued.......
