Yesterday we went down to Miami and picked up Jen's new car! It is a 2003 Saturn Ion 3. We found it on Craig's List and Jen just had to have it. She talked to the owner and bargained the girl down to less than market value--and less than the girl owed!
Really, Jen did need a new car. Her old '97 Saturn has been having electrical problems for over a year. Recently, it has started to randomly decide not to start! It sat at the mechanic's shop for three days and started every single time. They checked everything out and couldn't find a problem. We drove it home, drove it to a restraunt, and then got a ride home. It refused to start! No clicking sound, no nothing. The running lights and some dashboard lights come on, but nothing else works. We left the car there overnight and when we went back, it started right up! It's a gremlin, a ghost, or something wacky. Whatever it is, we don't want it any more!
This weekend we are going to sell the old one to CarMax... if we can get it to start and take it over there!
