New Car Face Contest.
Car shopping.
Whether you love getting out there and finding your dream car or even if isn’t necessarily your favorite thing–we all have done it! I’ll tell you how shopping for a new car and how the cars.com contest can help you pay off your car loan! One thing I know is that I love car shopping and I’m the type of girl who knows what she likes and gets what she wants!
So Long Betsey!
Dara and I are car lovers and before we had two kids, we loved driving fast cars and modifying them to look and drive better. But, when you become parents, a lot of things change. We went from driving two-door sports cars to buying our first minivan. While we still love fast cars, we opted for convenience, comfort and space that only a minivan can provide. Perhaps later on down the road we will get another sports car!
Well, our first minivan was a Ford Windstar and boy, did Betsey make us some memories. Aside from transporting us from soccer practices and ballet lessons, Betsey took us all over Ontario, the US and many adventures. Alas, a few months ago she was on her last leg and it was time for us to start looking to buy a new minivan!
Hello Pearl.
What we were looking for in our next car was comfort, Stow N’ Go and passenger power windows was an absolute MUST. Oh, and I wanted it to be white. For me, there was only one option but, we considered the Ford Edge. As much as we would have loved to get an SUV, I wanted the Stow N’ Go and the space. Though I am just as much a reasonable wife as my husband sweet, next car will be HIS choice!
We headed to our nearest Dodge dealership and looked into our options. Our car salesman showed us a few options and we customized what we wanted in our van. In less than two weeks, we had Pearl. Our new 2014 Dodge Caravan. Yes, that’s her name and we’ve already begun making memories together. As much as Dara would love an SUV, you can tell by his HAPPY new car face that he is content with our new purchase.
I know that I am happy with a car that is reliable, spacious and heck, if I have to be frank–covered under warranty! Not to mention, a vehicle that will take us places and accommodate our current lifestyle.

I would love a new car – definitely an SUV, though 🙂
That is our next purchase.
Oh what an awesome promotion, I would LOVE to have a new car loan paid off. My mini van is a 2005 and I plan to drive it for a few more years because I just don't want a car payment. Winning this would help!
It is a great contest!
I love this contest! It's getting to be new car time, and it would be really nice to win something like this to either pay it off outright, or cut the cost way down.

So true, would be great for anyone to win.
We rented one of those in Maui a couple of weeks ago. It was surprising how spacious a mini van is!

Oh no, I am so sorry to hear that!!! I hope you can figure something out. That is awesome!! I am always in Michigan, like my second home. 😀
What a fun promo! While we don't have payments, it sure would be handy for an upgrade!
It is an awesome contest, that is for sure.
This is such a cute contest! My son in law just got his new car, he should enter.
He should, who doesn\’t want to have one less bill!
Oh man! That would be absolutely amazing to get a new car and have the loan paid off! I definitely want a new car. Ours is running, but a lot of the 'features' aren't really features any longer. Don't work. Sad day.
Oh no, maybe it is time for a new one when you can!
HAHA I love the sweet 16 shot. That one is awesome and captures the spirit of turning 16
I know, it is hilarious!
No new car here. But this contest sounds great! I will share with my friends now. Love it!

I think this van is awesome! I’m actually in the market for one too. I have a Ford now and would buy one again. Great contest!
This one is a Dodge but, yes–it is a really great family car.
That is so funny… we went to get a new suv and ended up with a mini-van, as well. Hubby was sad at first but the mini-van is so much easier for us and the kids. I would love to get it paid off…
LOL, that\’s us but it is more practical. 🙂 Go and enter! 😀
