The last 3 months have been, let's say, insane.
I had a 5 for about a year, during the early months I had a love/hate for the car. Even though 2 weeks of camping gear with 2 adults and 2 kids worked it was very tight. A few months after the 2 week road trip we decided to sell the 5. In Oct 2013 we traded for a RAM 1500 and there the nightmare began. The Carter Dodge dealership was incompetent and I jumped in too fast so I was to blame as well. I tried to get the 5 back with a loss but the dealership sold it "all of a sudden". There is much more to tell but I could almost write a short story.
The last month I have been looking for used 5 or CX-7s. However, because of the financing balance from the 5 and now the RAM the blended negative equity ruled out a used car. Then something unexpected: a 2014 CX-5 GT AWD fully loaded with Tech package. All in all it will be cheaper by $100/m than what we are paying now. I pick it up on Tuesday, can't wait!
