Okay, so be pre warned, you guys are gonna hate me after this is done! Just know I mean all of this in a good natured way!
So I'm looking for a little help with a new car. It would be (so far away) tax time not this upcoming year, but 2016 probably. Hopefully sooner. But my financial situation has taken a turn for the better (finally!) and I'm hoping by then if I can get my credit caught up that I'd be able to afford a 2008 ish model year. But my requirements are so picky, I don't know if anyone can help.
I'm a nanny so I need a larger vehicle, but I am a die hard suburban fan. No one can convince me otherwise. This is a problem, it's just a horrible move for me to buy one. I hate vans. It has nothing to do with the look or stigma, I really hate driving them. I love my truck, a van is not a truck. They drive like huge sedans, blehg. I know most people appreciate the easier to drive smooth ride, but the only thing I appreciate is my truck. I am almost kinda sorta convinced that I may be able to tolerate a new ody, but I can't afford one that new. Plus I like GM. After driving a suburban, and now a buick lesabre I'm just so convinced that a GM vehicle is "my car". That said, I'd like to keep an open mind. I need to seat 8. Soooo, sell me on a crossover? I love the idea of a GMC Acadia, but I'm not sure what else the great minds here can come up with. Thanks so much!
