Go Divemaster, Hello Civic, Good Bye Volvo

A few weeks ago, I purchased my roommate's (KT's) civic for $1900. Its a '97 4 door sedan, automatic, with ~150k miles on it. I figured it was a good deal for a few reasons. One being that it is good on gas as the price per gallon is surpassing four dollars now. Another reason is that KT has put a new transmission, starter, and radiator in it all in the past year so not much else can go wrong with it. I gave her $1000 down with $900 to follow shortly. It was very good timing because my federal tax return plus the "stimulus" covered it. The other day I attained my divemaster certification so now I can start leading dives and am that much closer to becoming an instructor. I am looking forward to making more money while having fun going diving. Today, I just sold my Volvo. I accepted $1300 for it since it needs new tires, alignment, and maybe some other minor work on it. I think I originally paid $2200 for it plus I put some money into it and I cannot forget all the time and elbow grease too. I am happy to have sold it and hope it treats his new owner alright. Because of the sale, I was able to pay KT the remainder for what I owed her for the civic. So now I am back being debt free with good financial standing and one less car in front of my house.
