Out with the old, in with the new!
I love my Durango! We bought it almost 5 years ago, shortly after Madison was born. I told Chris after the first snowstorm I got stuck in with Madison in the back seat, that from here on out I wanted something with 4-wheel drive. I didn't want to ever get stuck in the snow with a baby in the back seat and not be able to get out. We found our durango from a private seller, who was selling it because his wife was pregnant and they needed something with a third row. It was a '98, and he was the original owner of the car. He had taken really good care of it! It looked new!
Now, 5 years later, we have been through a lot with that car. It has withheld 2 kids, lots of road trips, new tires, and we have loved it. But... the air conditioner has never really worked. Every summer we dread how much we will put into it for us to have cold air for a few weeks and then it stops again. And lately the shocks were starting to squeak, the back hatch wouldn't stay up without a bunjy cord, and we were starting to have transmission problems... We considered fixing everything, but quickly realized it would be more worth it to put that money into a newer car.
So... Saturday we picked up this beautiful car!
Its a 2004 durango. I knew I wanted another durango after how much I loved the old one. This one is white, with leather seats, and sunroof, dvd player for the kids, and has a third row! It even has a hemi (whatever that means...)
We look forward to many years with our new car! Madison loves to sit in the way back, so each of our kids have their own row. SPOILED KIDS!
