    I guess I forgot to mention my mom is using my grandpa's car for now, so we have transportation.

    My grandpa even offered to write a $500 check for the car down payment but my mom said no because it would leave my grandpa short.

    So, she just called the car place. They're working with this other place to try and get us into this car. They're doing pretty much everything possible in their power, so maybe there's still a little bit of hope!

    They sound like really good people at the dealership! Great to know there are good people out there!

    Did you get Logan's PM just now?

    Prayers going your way!

    You guys need a break, Bri. I'm sorry there is so much going on right now. We have an extra car sitting in our driveway, but of course, it doesn't help you and your mom.

    Please keep in touch with me by PM so I'll know when to call Northridge.

    Thank youu! I think the car's starting to grow on me.. it runs so silently my mom thought it had died! =x

    And driving it was fun.. but it was just around the driveway.

    Oh, and she has a name.

    Based on my conversation with your mom, it was time for something newer and more reliable. I think this car is cute! Maybe it will be yours, one day, Bri! My daughter drives my Jeep Grand Cherokee and she loves to call it "her" car. I correct her on that quite frequently, although I will admit that she drives it more than I do. I might drive it once a month at th most! I always tell her that the only reason I haven't given it to her is that I need the freedom to say I need the car when it is time to take the dogs somewhere! It is a perfect dog hauling vehicle. I try to drive my work care as much as I can. Better to put the miles on their car instead of mine!

    Hope you and your mom have fun with the new wheels!

    I know State Farm is also in the USA. I did my financing for my car through State Farm. I bought a 6500.00 car (that was the total cost after taxes & stuff).. I pay 169.00/month to pay them back.. its a 4 year plan.

    Get your mom to call them & see if its in the usa too

    we have STATE FARM but its an insurance company - I don't think they finance cars, but I could be wrong - I really don't know. I just set up my car/house insurance with them.

    Our car is a lot more than $6,500 though, lol. We tried applying for a loan, didn't work. Doubt it'll work at other places too. They're working with Eastman credit union, so maybe they can do something.

    The Vibe and the Matrix are pretty much the same car, just a slightly different look to the body.

    The Vibe is by Pontiac, but has a Toyota engine.
