It's Always Sunny in Colorado

My life spins around the people that I love . . . my husband of 23 years, my 3 unique children, great friends, various animals that call our house home, and the work that I do. My goal is to make a difference during the time I have on earth. Life is good - even when it's not! Life is always good . . .

Why do you really want a new car?
Anyone who owns a car has felt that itch to get a new one at some point.  We see the newer models drive by, and our mind begins to think about how great it would be to ditch our old ride for something shiny and new that doesn’t have crumbs filling the seat cracks.
But, think for a moment about the reasons you could be tempted into trading in your car for a new one.  You’re at the car dealership looking at the sun glinting off the hood.  You climb into the driver’s seat and take notice of the shiny dashboard, the freshly vacuumed carpet, and the wonderful smell.  You glance over at your old car and notice how crummy it looks in comparison.  Sure, it drives fine, but it just seems so…meh.
Now, think about what’s actually selling you here.  It’s not that the car is new.  It’s the fact that it’s clean.  You’re just yearning for a car that isn’t filled with dust and the smell of old french fries.
The good news is, you can have that without dropping $20,000 on a new car.
You might be surprised at how much more appealing your car is after it’s been washed, waxed, and detailed.  That’s how the dealerships can buy a 10 year old car for $2,500 and then turn around and sell it for $5,000.
Many people view a car detail as an unnecessary expense.  But, if spending $100 on a thorough cleaning keeps you from taking on a new monthly car payment, it’s actually one of the best financial moves you could ever make.
