I like Dave Ramsey''s ''Clunkers for Cash'' program. Drive a clunker and save your cash.


My sister just participated in this and bought a brand new Equinox what she considers a deal ($22K). I just saw the exact same vehicle she bought, just 2 years older and with 18K miles on it for half the price.

Did she buy a 2010 Equinox? I just bought one last week. I was going to buy 2009, but I hated the interior of it. The 2010 has been totally redesigned inside and out and is sooo much nicer.

She said she couldn''t decide between the 2009 or the 2010 because she didn''t really like one more than the other, but the 2010 was the same price, so she just thought she''d get the newer one. She had leather put in and likes it, but said she regrets spending the money because her old vehicle was paid off and she couldn''t afford this one, so now she has monthly payments again. I like the look of the 2010 better, myself.

musey, I forwarded a link to my husband about that SmartCar deal. Very intriguing! We both love those and a friend of mine has one and loves his. Please keep me posted on what you end up doing!

Will do!! We rarely get this deeply immersed in a decision process without going ahead and taking the plunge, so it's looking pretty good right now... I'm trying to remain slightly doubtful so I don't get my hopes up

crossing my fingers!

I never checked back in!! Bad musey.

We went ahead and got the smart car in the middle of last month (or toward the end? don't remember for sure). I love it. There are at least two others in our neighborhood, so I pulled up behind one to take a picture a couple weeks back. People must've thought I was a total weirdo parking, getting out, taking a picture, getting back in and driving away! lol.
