Goodbye

As my close friends know I hate saying goodbye to friends. However, there are times when you just have to say goodbye. There are those times when you know you will see that friend for the last time. It's painful, but you know you will get through it with some time. I am at one of those crossroads now. Rex is leaving. Yes Rex. Some of you might not know him, or perhaps some of you just never took the time to ask his name. I'm sure that you have all seen him, and now he is leaving. And to be quite honest, no one will miss him more than me. However, it'll be good to see him leave. It's his time, and I am at peace with him leaving. So here's to you Rex.... my little RX.The good part is that I am able to replace him and not feel guilty. So, with the money that I will make off of the Mazda I have the opportunity to buy something else with lower payments and better gas mileage! Each car has a clean carfax, is listed by a dealer, has cruise control, is a 4 cylinder engine (unless indicated), and is listed for under $4900 (except one). So here are the prospects thus far:

2001 Ford Escape 2WD, Unlisted Mileage, 5 speed

2001 Mazda Tribute 2WD, Unlisted Mileage, Automatic

2000 Nissan Xterra XE 2WD, 163k miles, Automatic, V6

2003 Chevy Cavalier, 79k miles, 5 Speed

2000 Mazda 626 LX, 83k miles, Automatic

1999 Nissan Altima, 56k miles, Automatic
2000 VW Jetta GL, 120k miles, Automatic

2001 VW Jetta GLS, 119k, Automatic
