Sadly, we didn’t win the Ford Focus. But we were really close. I liked it a lot, but there are plenty of other options. There’s an auction tomorrow in Tucson, so I am going to take the day off.
There are three cars we are going to bid on. It would be nice to win all three!
1. 2010 Mazda 6 – this is a really nice car and only has 5,000 miles. We are going to bid hard for this one because we really want it.
2. 2007 Mazda 3 – Also a nice car. More compact than the Mazda 6, but it would work for a regular commuter to Mexico. Both this car and the 6 get about 30 mpg. That’s about double what we’re currently getting.
3. 1990 Daihatsu Rocky – I really want this one. It’s old, but looks like it would be a lot of fun. Perfect for trips to the beach (it’s a convertible) and up the mountain. It looks a lot like the Land Rover Defender which we really like a lot, but much much more affordable. I’ve never even heard of Daihatsu, but apparently people that own them really love them.
