Of course, it’s been more of a saga for me than for any of you because I haven’t written down every niggling detail. But in any case, I’m now the very proud owner of a new 2007 Dodge Caliber SXT: [...] [...] Here’s the end to the great car-shopping saga.

My parents got burned like you would not believe with a Chevy Cavalier the first year it was out. Considering that, I'm rather surprised at how gung-ho they are with this one. I'll probably ask Dad about that later.

I would avoid buying the “first run” of any kind of car.

You might remember all the crap I've gone through with my Focus. Well, it's a 2000, which was the first year they made them. First runs of cars seem to have a lot of problems. The brief re-cap—my parents put over $1000 into fixing my car last year, and it wasn't paid off until January of this year. So if you can get a really good deal on this, you might consider looking into an extended warranty or something. Other than that, this looks like a cool vehicle. Good luck with the car-buying experience. :) I’m only going to say one thing about this car, and it’s a generalization about new cars: I would avoid buying the “first run” of any kind of car.
