After a month and a halfof tedious used car shopping, Paco and I are now the proud owners of a 2000 Toyota Sienna!
This new car purchase wasquite a surprise for us; just two month ago we had no intention of purchasinganother vehicle (though evidently the Lord had different plans J). My sister and brother-in-law had given us their 2000 Honda CRV inJanuary when we arrived in California, which we had planned on driving for years. However, as we investigated the importationlaws of vehicles into Mexico, we unfortunately discovered that the car did not fitthe importation standards.
With so little time tocar shop before our return to Mexico, the search was frustrating and stressful. But the Lord knew our needs and blessed uswith exactly the car we sought- even with the little extras, like a luggage rack,tow hitch, and cd player. The mechanicsaid the car is even in better mechanical shape than most its age. Thanks to the financial help of my lovingparents, and negotiating expertise of our friend here in California, the minivanwas exactly in our budget! Already, Godis providing for our return trip to Mexico next month!
