The infamous "newer" car

So at the end of last semester a Japanese acquaintance of ours graduated. This acquaintance happened to be going back to Japan to work. He also happened to have this 1998 Ford Taurus Lx. Since he was planning on just selling it to the dealer we decided to take a look. We don't much care for Fords and especially for the body style of the bubble a.k.a Taurus... but it is a definite upgrade with only 110000 miles and working heating and air. The main plus was that he is letting us pay him in March when he comes back to visit.
After having the car for about a month we are still happy with the decision to take it however there are plenty of features still lacking (being an Lx) that we wished we had. Such as power locks, cruise control and the likes. Also he put four new snow tires on it and gave us the four all season tires that are in great condition with it.
Not all is well though the other day we got a flat and when we popped open the trunk there wasn't a jack in it. So we called the new handy man in town...( I see why mom and dad liked having Hazen so close by). We got it fixed and we are back in action.
We need to arrange to get the Bonneville back to Sheryn now. That should be fun.
