OWNED!

Post by Whelan »

Just waiting on the bank to send me my title but I'm the proud OWNER of my 2005 Matrix XR AWD with 132,000 miles on it! I've also decided to keep her for at least the winter if not another full year. Next week she goes in for brakes and the A/C condenser fix. My tires are new as of this spring so I'll keep chugging along saving $$$ each month. I got a great job offer and my last day is tomorrow at my current place. My commute crashes from 70 miles a day roundtrip to 25. They gave me a 20% increase over my current salary, benefits, savings plan, etc. Cannot wait to start!Anyways, I'll keep you posted on the repairs from next week.

Dude, congrats! And great choice to keep the trix for a little while. Take a little time to enjoy not having a monthly note to pay off
