Car Update

After some sage advice from Anonymama:

Go with quality as well as price. A cheap car that has too many miles or is not what you need is no bargain. Also check it's history as best you can. That is the sum of my wisdom. Look long term. And don't miss a good deal because the people you have to deal with are jerks. Good luck.

followed by some encouragement from Shrike:
This is one thing that could be easier for us if you suck it up. I agree, buy the car. Tell them off and write a letter to someone.

I think I've decided to go ahead and buy the Suzuki from the dealership that pissed me off.

After all that, we stil have to go to the bank on Wednesday (when we get back in town, after the IUI) to sign the loan papers and pick up the check, then we'll go to the dealership to sign papers there and pick up the car.

Unless, of course, I change my mind again in the next thirty-six hours.

  1. That doesn't sound like encouragement at all. I am sorry.

  2. No, I was serious about that. I needed somebody to encourage me to put my ego aside and do the smart thing to get us the best car possible for the best price.

    I can always write a letter to their boss about what I didn't like.
