Just 7,000 Miles Away...
Written by Melissa Tosetti

As I was driving to Fearless Fitness last night, I realized my little Nissan Maxima is just 7,000 miles away from hitting the 200,000 mile mark.  I am so proud of it!  It still runs like a champ and if I continue to take good care of it, it should last for several more years, if not more. 

I just read my original post when I purchased the car in October 2006: We Bought a Car!  I was very pregnant with Dante at the time and was happy the experience was so pleasant.  Paul and I had been dreading buying a new car as we had several not-so-fun car buying experiences prior to that. 
 
We ended up paying $7,784.51 in cash for the car. I remember thinking that if I could get the car to last five years; I would end up paying just $129.74 per month for it.  At this point, I have paid $169.23 per month and am thrilled with my investment.
 
If you happen to live in Northern California and are in need of a car, I highly recommend visiting Bob at BK Motors in Half Moon Bay!  Tell him I sent you!
