i bought a car this weekend. by myself. i did the research. i went to the dealership. i refused to pay more than a couple hundred over invoice. i told them what i wanted out of my trade-in. and, i told them what my car payment needed to be. and after 3 and 1/2 hours, i got what i wanted.
granted, it's still being shipped here. so, i won't get this baby until late in the week. i did it. all by myself. i am a car-buyer.
Ooh...we're gonna be working with some trade-ins (we have two hunks o' junk we need to get rid of) in a few weeks here, and I'm a bit worried! When I bought my car in '02, I didn't have anything to trade...just made an offer, gave 'em a check, and I was on my way.
ReplyDeleteI hope my fiance is doing the research for us! I don't wanna...(He's literally addicted to the car sites right now, though, so I think he's getting it done for us, thank goodnes.)
is that a Yaris? very cool. what color did you get? you seem to be getting more independent all the time. are you on your own now for a while? love your poems/blog. how is your running?
ReplyDeleteYES, a new motocar!!! Way to stand up to those auto dealing demons. I'll see you on the Streets!
ReplyDeleteIs this a hybrid that requires you to replace the (expensive) battery in a couple years? I don't know much about hybrids, but heard something about it on the radio. You don't want any costly surprises!
ReplyDeleteno. not a hybrid. it does get 40 MPG though.
ReplyDeletecool! happy driving!
