Jason's New Car!

We had been looking at new cars online & on ksl, because Jay's car is old, twenty years!!!  and we just recently got it fixed because it kept on stalling.  And since Tyrell drives it now I didn't want him shunting when it stalls at an intersection.  Jason found 3-5 vehicles he & I liked and then we narrowed it down to two & then we chose out of those two.

We chose a 2012 Dodge Journey, seats 7, dark gray exterior & black interior, full wheel drive and it had about 41,000 miles on it, it was $16,600. Owned by a private owner who lived it Morgan. We had gotten pre-approved for an auto-loan over the phone, our amount was $15,000.

We drove to Morgan, it was a very long drive, they lived out in the wops, there was a lot of snow on the ground. We met with Doug Anderson and his wife Traci, the owners of the Dodge, and he told us & showed us stuff about the car. They seemed like very nice people and trustworthy.  Then Jay took it for a drive up the road.  We liked it very much and decided to buy it.  But we had to wait till they received the title in the mail from their bank.

While we were waiting, and it took longer than usual like a week and a few days.  Jay was having second thoughts of buying the same vehicle almost, it was white and had 3,000 less miles, cost $17,500. but was being sold by a dealer.  But we stuck with the Anderson's.

We finally met at an MACU in Layton and did the final paperwork.  We finalized the loan at $13,000, and gave out of pocket $3,450.  We also bought some insurance for the Dodge that cost $300. Jay drove the Dodge home & I followed in the Van.  We surprised the littlies when we got home, by driving down to the park and Jaxon saw Jay in the Dodge & was all excited saying hey that's Dad, is that a new car?  Then Jaxon, Leila & Erana got in the car & Jay drove up & parked in the garage.  Jaxon's remarks is that it, "I thought we were going on a longer drive" lol.
