We finally found a car for Austin. He has been working hard and saving for over a year to have enough money to buy his first car. We told him that we would match what he saved and so he was ready a few days after he got his license. We looked at a lot of cars and a lot of them were a heap of trash. We were getting a little worried that we weren't going to be able to find something decent in his price range, but we pushed onward. After 3 intense days of test driving and laughing, we found the one. He is the proud 1/2 owner of a 1998 Saturn SC2. It is very well maintained, with a nice exterior and a super clean interior. The guy who sold it to us is a Saturn mechanic for 19 years and he sold it to us with a 12,000 mile, 12 month warranty. Who does that on a 1998 car? It drives really well and is a really cute, fun car. He is enjoying his freedom and I'm enjoying that he can get himself all the places he needs to go and also help me drive his siblings around. Here's to Austin and his new ride!

Looks like a great find!
I like the idea of matching what he saved...I may have to steal that idea :)
That is so cool! A good deal is always out there, one just needs to be patient to find it....that's what Duane is for at my house!
