Thread: Here we go again

I'm starting to realize that this is my life now. My youngest boy Christian has had his Trailblazer for about a year or so and he does like it, but he's getting sick of putting gas in it. We told all our kids that we will buy your first car that you approve of but you can sell it later if you like and get something different if you like. They all could sell their first car for far more than we had invested in them. Christian approached me with that earlier than I thought and he wanted to find a Dodge Avenger . He has taken very good care of his Trailblazer
( his older brothers trashed their cars in a short amount of time ) so I gave him the go ahead. He never really got over the first Avenger we almost bought for him before the Trailblazer, but it was too much money. He has 2K from his job this summer and his Blazer should bring about 4K so he has some money for the switch. We found a 2013 with the V6 and 92K miles that we ended up getting for $2800 with deer damage. It needs a hood, grill, fender, light, and both pass doors, but it came with the replacement rear door in white. The radiator support is good and the bumper is fixable. I added it up and we should be done for just under 4k but Christian is going to be responsible for paying the tax and license on it as well. We drove it about 75 miles back home and I got to tell you I now hate our 13 Impala compared to this Avenger, and on top of that it was averaging 28-30 mpg.
