Some Hard Truths (and Some Blatant Advertising)


As of this posting, we still have four 2009 Chevy Aveos on our lot, back from when they were new. Aveo Sedans and Aveo 5s are the smallest vehicles we have, and even though they are not hybrids, they get up to 40 mpg on the highway. They are very fuel-efficient little vehicles, and are also really attractive.

However, it seems like we cannot pay people to come in and look at these. Why? Well, since gas prices went down, it seems we all have forgotten about taking care of the enviroment. And now that unemployment has just leveled off, people have already forgotten about saving their money.

My how we forget our troubles so easily.

Whether we like it or not, our lives have been forever changed since the events of the past ten years. We can't go back to the past, when we neglected the environment and didn't take savings or credit seriously. Everyday I see someone who is trying to pretend to live in that old world, where the cost of some temporary happiness doesn't matter, no matter how high.

Buying any car should be an investment in your future, based on consideration of what will work best for you. The Aveo is definitely just that - it is inexpensive, saves you gas money, and is a reliable and safe vehicle (just so no one doubts my credibility by calling these tiny cars "safe," they actually received 5 star crash test ratings).

So what if Aveo is not a big, expensive status symbol? It's a useful car, and should get more respect than it does.

So if you are are in the market for a new vehicle, consider the Aveo. Remember what it was like when we all had to try and be responsible? Let's keep doing that, everyday.
