The interior was nicer than all the others we've looked at. It has leather interior, heated seats, a lot of nice little extras. It's similar to our Audi, but less miles, 2 years newer (it's a 2004) and we still ended up saving about $1500 from selling our Audi.
So, Thursday night we went home, researched about it, thought about it, prayed about it, and slept on the idea. We knew we'd have to act fast, because it was priced so low, and the guy had only bought it about a week before from an auction, he had only had it listed for like two days. And we knew people would look at it over this weekend. So, Friday morning, Zariph called him from work and made an offer. They worked out the price and we were going to go pay for it after Zariph got off work at 3:30. In the meantime, there were two other people that wanted to come look at it. The guy called Zariph and told him if we can go get the cashier's check, then he'll tell everyone that it's already sold. So, I went down to the bank, got the cashier's check and called up the dealer. He said we could still wait and come at 3:30 like we planned and that he'd mark it as sold.
So, we're now the proud owners of a 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix!
I'm thinking of putting a title or something on it that says "The many faces of Boston", but I'm not sure yet...
I think we left our house around 4 a.m. We landed in Georgia later that afternoon. A guy from the car place picked us up from the airport. We looked at the car, took it for a test drive and decided it was the car for us. So, we paid for it, filled it up with gas (around $80 for the tank-gas was really expensive there) and off we drove headed for St. Louis, to spend the night. I think we drove until 1 or 2 a.m. 
The next day we were going to relax a little and tour around St. Louis, but Zariph accidentally booked our hotel in Denver for the wrong night. We had to drive all the way to Denver that day! So another long day of driving. 
That night was the scariest snow storm I had ever been in. I couldn't even watch the road, I'm glad Zariph was driving. I had to occupy myself with other things because I was so scared. There were a lot of people pulling over and spending the night in their cars. That's when I was first glad that our new car had all wheel drive. (It doesn't look like much in the picture, but the night before in the mountain was way worse!)
Luckily, we made it to Denver safe and sound. I heard that they closed that road just after we made it through. So, it's good we came a day early. The next day we finished our big adventure and made it home with our new car!
Then we dropped off Boston at the in-laws and went to The Melting Pot for dinner.
