Decisions, Decisions...

As some of you may know, I am in the process of getting a new car.

I need to save up to pay for the sales tax and licensing first. And insurance, obviously.

At first, I was in a big rush to save up ASAP.

But as time has gone on, I've been a little more relaxed about it.

I drive an oldie, but a goodie, at the moment. It's done me well, but I am ready for an upgrade.

However, now that Summer is practically half over, I've been thinking of waiting for the Fall to get my car.

Not only to save up more money, but because the new 2013 models will be out, which means the other years will go down in price.

I'm only allotted to spend so much on the car, but if I wait longer, I can save up more in case there's a car that I want that's over that price range.

I'm not getting a new car by any means, but am planning on getting one that's a couple years old.

I'd like to get it as new as possible, since I want it to last that much longer. I'm not one to get a new car every couple years, but keep it until it's run it's course or I've had it for several years and am able to get another one (which both has happened for me).

And I really want to get an SUV. I'm like dead set on it. I thought about getting a sedan for the mean time, since I could afford that right now, but I really want an SUV for when we start having kids.

And it just doesn't make any sense to me to get a sedan now, but get an SUV in a couple years.

Anyway, with all that said. Here's what I'm thinking about getting!

{ Chevrolet Equinox }

{ Toyota Highlander }

{ Ford Escape }

{ Mazda CX-7 }

{ Acura MDX } 

I realize that my choices are kind of all over the place. I'm really wanting to stick with Honda, Toyota, or Acura, since that's what I trust. Plus you can not beat the mileage those things can get.

My Honda Accord that I have now has over 215,000 miles on it and the thing still runs like a champ.

However, if the others are great cars, I'm not opposed to those. If any one has any experience or reviews on these, feel free to share! :)

Guess we'll see when the time arises. I'm planning on going out one day to test drive all of them to see how I feel about them. I've driven all but a couple of them already, but want to double check.

Hopefully then I can narrow down my choices. ;)
