Any reason you decided to go with a Grand Cherokee? Especially for $7000?

She now knows what and where the mileage is, how to check tire pressure and inflate tires, change wiper blades, check oil, transmission oil, rad fluids, waxing using a orbital buffer, etc etc. I had my other daughter spray painting today. Tomorrow she's gonna be raking up pine needles and putting a emergency sprinkler system together in 98 degree heat. Anything at all they can learn to do will make them more rounded. I don't hesitate to give either of them very dirty and hard jobs.

Educate and inform, give them the knowledge to make rational decisions. Just reading the other thread it appeared as you were waiting for her to fall on her ass as to teach her a lesson. I raise my kids to question everything and learn from trial and error. I applaud you for allowing them to learn on the field, just make sure they get some play sheets before they have to be the star. Sounds like you have them going in the right direction. GL with the wild fires and be safe!

Well I try to buy american even if used, haven't had a non-american car in many years. She has had a 2003 jeep liberty for a couple years now and it's been pretty good. The cherokee I just bought her is a 2004, my mistake on that. She has a baby and a midsize SUV is perfect. Bigger does give a little extra protection in case of a accident.

Dealers lots empty of customers yet they won't budge on prices, both were $2000 above retail. This is for a used car. They always try to sneak this "dealer's fee" in which is nothing more than extra profit for them.

Finally I tell them to go to small buy here pay here lots and maybe we can find a small dealer that needs cash fast and is willing to come down. Finally find just such a small dealer, got a 2003 Jeep Cherokee limited v8 for $7000 including dealer fees. LOL. God I hate car shopping, I would rather get a root canal than shop for a car. I fucking hate it.

I have bought many, many many cars of all price ranges. NEVER pay retail. Once you find the car you like, look it up on KBB and offer them only the private party listing price that way when you negotiate, you can go up a little if need be. Car dealers are hurting just as most businesses are so you can work a good deal. Also, finance it for an even better deal as dealers get paid for financing. Then you can just pay if off the first month if you want to.

Always go foreign is you can. They are typically better built cars, especially used ones over the past 10 years.
