Replaced My Car

Some of you may remember that my car got hit in a parking lot late October.
1998 Sebring convertible. Other insurance company accepted responsibility but car was too old to fix.
So, I pocketed the five grand.
Well, I found a 2018 Buick Cascada with 56,000 miles. Good price. No accidents, no major repairs, no recall history. Interior is immaculate.
Still a ragtop, which is what I had to have. (Been driving ragtops since 1982).
Pretty sporty for a Buick. Looks even better with the top down. I picked it when it wasv65° here, so yeah, the top has been down already.

My daughter had a Buick and loved it. Was really upset when someone went through a red light and totaled it.

Sounds like you are enjoying it already.
