You have three kids who play hockey, softball, and soccer, all at different times of the year, a husband who likes to fish and gold, and you have your candle parties that you host every month, that’s a whole lot that needs to fit in that tiny sports car you keep clinging to. Its time to make the ultimate sacrifice and give up your dream car for your needs car.
The prices for new cars are at an all time low and have great incentives to buy now. First thing to do is do your homework. You need to know what you are looking for, what’s available that fits your needs, and everything that could come with it. You need to know what you are talking about when you get to the dealer to make negotiations go smoothly, and your way.
You basically have two choice as a “soccer” mom, the unattractive mini van that screams mom, or the gas guzzling SUV that makes you look like you hate the environment. However, with the whole world going green there are SUVs that are now offered in Hybrid or Flex Fuel models. These will leak less emission into the air and save you money on gas in the long run.
These vehicles will give you all the space you need in the trunk, and most models come with hidden compartments in the floor of the backseats. They are also starting to come standard with satellite radio, DVD players, and navigation systems. Overall a hybrid SUV will be a good buy for any soccer mom, just keep up to date with the advancements in battery technology.
