Hi Kurt,


 RH> We were able to put a good bit down, then go with a 3 year loan. Got
 RH> the initial financing thru Ford's banking (7. something %) but
 RH> immediately went to our credit union and got a loan at 4.25%; helps
 RH> that we've been with them for 43 years.

 KW>  I got spoiled - the last time I bought a car was 2014, and I got a 5
 KW>  year, 0% interest loan on the car.

The last time we bought a vehicle before this was at the end of 2016,
paid cash at Car Max just outside of Salt Lake City. That was the
Frontier, bought to replace the 2016 (bought in Nov. 2015) Escape that
had been in an accident the week before. Don't remember the APR for that
Escape but do remember in the late 70s when interest was in the double
digits paying 9.29% for our Honda Civic CVCC.


 KW> That car now has 190,000 miles and I'm looking to replace it. Not
 KW> liking the rates these days.  :(

We'd been looking, starting to get serious about it, then this one had
all we were looking for. It has a bunch of cup holders so I'll have to
see which ones work best with our travel mugs. I keep (hot) tea in one,
water in another.
