Alright, Beaconite ... you like a Subaru. And those boxy cars, like the Honda Element, the Kia Soul, and a good Jeep. We get it - they have a lot of room in the back for hauling away finds from the Beacon Flea, or a good yard sale, or even for picking up a bale of seedless hay from Sunny Gardens on 9D.

So guess what? Poughkeepsie Nissan, just up Route 9, redesigned their logo for a reason and included these words in it: "The BIG Store." That's because in addition to all of the new and used Nissans you can choose from on the lot, they have an even bigger lot of pre-owned cars, the collection of which includes Subarus, Hondas, and Kias. And even BMWs!

I know you need a new or different car pretty soon. So this is what you're going to do:

1. Take the scenic (and possibly faster) route up 9D past Stony Kill Farms, past the bright pink Nesting Doll store, past the Randolph School, and then take a right. 
2. You'll veer left without even touching Route 9, and take the back road to Poughkeepsie Nissan.
3. Park.
4. Walk into the showroom. Before you go in there, however, look behind you because you'll see the giant lot of great-looking pre-owned cars in the lot next door. Many of them have a Lifetime Powertrain Warranty, which makes buying a pre-owned vehicle feel more secure.
5. Also, take note of the Service Center right next to the showroom. They work on all kinds of vehicles, foreign and domestic, and can take care of your car needs.
6. Any of the sales people can help you, but if you get Nick, he'll take you on a test drive on a route of back roads that he made up. It will go toward Bowdoin Park, and you'll see some river and some reeds, and be able to test out the turning radius and brakes in your possible new car.
7. When you get back, the negotiating is up to you, but Poughkeepsie Nissan works with a lot of banks and credit unions, and everyone has a 100% guaranteed credit approval.
