TTMA your small/mid-sized car

Love my Camry....but DH had to steal it from me when we got married b/c it made for sense for him to drive a car that got better gas milage. 2007 and has about 160k miles on it and works great. I hope we can run it for at least 5 more years!! Good luck! I hate car shopping b/c I hate dealing with the sales people!

Bring your car seat with you and try it out in all the cars. We wound up having to trade in our 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe because it didn't fit a car seat.

We bought a 2015 Chevy Traverse and it's amazing. I love that SUV so much.

My biggest advice for buying a car is to pit two dealerships against each other. We did it with all our cars we've bought and it's amazing. So for the Chevy we went to one Chevy dealership, got a quote, then went to the one closer to our home and told them we wanted to stay local and what were their prices like. They went lower than dealership 1 so when dealership 1 called to follow up we said that dealership 2 offered us a lower price. And so on as they competed against each other for our business and we got the vehicle for $17000 below sticker at the end of it.

We bought a new Jeep Cherokee last year and I absolutely love it. My husband is tall and it has plenty of leg room for him. Ours is a v6 and still gets like 18-21mpg on the city and got about 27mpg on the highway this week. So the smaller engine would probably get even better. It has been the perfect size and super comfortable on our 18 hour long road trip this week. I can't recommend it enough. It's my favorite.
