Well, I'll get right to it. I traded my Pat yesterday. It was not an easy choice but it was the right choice for me given my circumstances.
There were several reasons, but none of them had to do with the Pat itself. I absolutely loved it, but with student loan payments and other obligations I found it was best to downsize my expenses. Again, totally loved the Pat but for my needs the Pat was a little too much vehicle and I was able to cut my payment in half.
For those of you that remember when I first joined up here, I was considering some other small affordable hatchbacks instead of the Pat. Well, the Honda dealer near me was running a special offering 140% of KBB trade in value. I was able to make quite a bit of cash on the trade itself which I then used as a DP on a new Fit, which was the runner up choice to the Pat in the first place.
Although Im sad to see it go, I certainly plan to get back into a Jeep at some point in the future! The Fit fits my needs a little better at the moment, and is much better on my wallet and the pump.
If anyone is looking for a low mileage awesome Pat Altitude Ed in the Seattle area, check it out at Klein Honda in Everett! I am sure they will be posting a for sale listing in the next couple days!
This also means I will be stepping down as a Mod, but I think there are some great people out there that can step in! But dont think im going anywhere any time soon haha...I still am Pro-pat and would love to help out other owners and keep up with everyone!
Happy New Year guys!
