I bought a new car!

I bought a 2008 Toyota Highlander, I got silver with gray leather interior, it has navigation, which so far is interesting :D

Holy Cow Congratulations

I just love my Highlander and I know you will too. Mine isn't new, nor does it have the GPS system which I would love to have. Congratulations! Have you named it yet?

We have a 2001 Highlander which we bought new. In all these years we haven't had a bit of problem with it. Since we are still under 50,000 miles we can't justify even thinking about trading it in on a new model. I hope you will be as satisfied with yours as we have been with ours.

Pics?

:p

Congrats!!

Rachel, my hubby has a 2002 highlander and he loved it. I have a 2000 odyssey right now that has a failing transmission and over 113,000 miles so it was time for me. Although it was nice not having a car payment for a few years.

I will take some pics today....

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Can't wait for the pics!! :)

Congrats on your new car!:)

Congrats! Can't wait to see some pictures!

congrats:D I bet its a great car!

I wanted to add that I have not had one bit of trouble with my Highlander in the five years I have owned it. It is a 2002. Oh, well, yes, I did replace the windshield wipers.

Please tell us how you like the navigation system - is it easy to use?

And we would love to see some pictures.

Here you go....

Gini so far the navigation is the hardest thing to learn...

BEEEEEE-U-TI-FUL!!!!! I love it!! :D

Does it have a name yet?

My family has names for its cars, of course, and my sister had a silver-colored Taurus for a time. Its name was Silver (after the horse) just so she could yell "Hi ho Silver, awaaaaay!"

Its funny you mention that Karen I was telling my daughter I had to name her and she looked at me like I was from Mars.... I also told her I feel bad for my old car she must feel unloved, I got another look :D

I like silver, that is cute, this is my first silver car I think I am going to like it.

I was going to get one of those if I didn't get my Escape. Congrats! I know you'll love it.

Wow, That car is amazing & a 2008 thats even cooler.

Congrats!!

Thanks everyone, cars are fun aren't they?

Val do you have leather interior? I am worried about the leather with the dogs....

Wow, that's awesome!

My Aunt has had a Monte Carlo for a year with leather seating, and two huge Labs.. so far the leather is prooving to be stronger than the doggies nails! :) However, you might want to bring along a blankie with you when you and the dogs go out to lay over the seat, just to be safe!

Yeah thats is probably a good idea....

Yes, especially as a blanket or towel, even, will help prevent bottom-slidage when you're going around corners!

Ohhh, can't you just smell that "new car" smell?

When I told everyone my new car was named Scotty, I got a lot of those looks too. But now everyone asks - "are you driving Scotty"..........:D

It looks lovely, and I can just smell it! Hope you enjoy.

Wow, that's nice! That'd be great to haul a few dogs around in. ;)

That car is amazing! Congrats!
