As we work towards downsizing and taking off on our traveling lifestyle it has occurred to me that I really can't have two vehicles. Since the little Honda S2000 sports car while good on gas mileage is going to be  a poor choice to tow behind a motor coach and not really comfortable so it probably is going to have to go. (How sad is that?) I loved that car.  

 

Also since the current "Real" vehicle our 2005 Jeep Liberty Renegade is leased and its lease is about up we have to do something. 

 

Recently it’s all over the news that the car companies are struggling and they have some really good deals available out there so maybe now is the time to check it out?  

That's the thought anyway behind why we ended up down at the Jeep dealer's lot on Saturday morning looking at new Jeep Liberties. Guess what the car companies really are hurting, because they are dumping old late models Liberties at close to $10,000 off the new list price! So after determining that we could turn in our old 2005 Liberty and not have to make the remaining 3 payments give them out beautiful S2000 on trade we could walk away with a new 2008 Liberty for about $12,000. Given you never get a deal when you buy a new car We didn't think that was too bad.  

 

So there you have it now we have one vehicle a 2008 Liberty Limited. It also is much more comfortable that the old Renegade (See them both in the picture above) and even though it looks bigger it is the same size
