I Got The Car!!!

judy · 03-20-2010, 06:02 AM

I picked up my new car on Thursday, and I just love it! Steve and I went to the dealer, and tried to bargain by bringing cash. To make a long story short, I spent $1000 more than I had wanted to spend, and am annoyed! In this economy, the salesman should have given me more of a break, but he knew I really wanted the car, so he really had the upper hand in the end. I never bought from a dealer before, and did not enjoy the experience at all! When I have bought privately, I have always been satisfied with the transaction.

BUT...the car is perfect! It is so nice looking, clean and sharp. It drives so nicely, hugs the road beautifully, and is really comfortable. I even have 4 doors! I have to figure out all of the buttons and knobs for myself, and exactly how I can drive it.

I have been going slowly because I have never driven an AWD before, and am used to a sports car. This car doesn't seem to drive much differently than my sports car! I can't make a u turn as easily, but I'll get used to that.

I also forgot how it feels to drive a nice looking car. I now worry about gravel making dings, where to park so it is safe, etc.

I will take pix today. I have been really stressed (in a good way), and have just been relaxing since Thursday. I have never spent so much on a car! I am really happy though, and can't believe that I can drive feeling safe again!

I am so fortunate that I could afford this, and that I found such a nice car!

Oh, Judy, I'm so happy for you!! You'll love having a SUV!! I have a Tahoe and I just love it!! I can't wait for you to post pictures!!!

We usually buy from individuals or from our local car dealers, but Dae Lynn bought a car from a dealer in KC and when she went to get it they had tacked on so much more than she was wanting to spend......by golly....she made them take most of it back off but still ended up spending more than she planned. We'll never buy from a dealer like that again.

Congrats Judy!! I'm so happy for you! Can't wait to see pics of your new ride

Diana is right...you will love having an suv. So easy to get in and out of. And having that hatch in the back is wonderful for shopping

lynne b · 03-20-2010, 01:12 PM

congrats Judy on your new car..... you will love having AWD especially in the winter. I love mine.
As for the sports car, i feel you girl on that, I use to have a 2001 camero with all the trimmings and red to boot, i loved that thing and miss having it, but with g-kids and the dogs it just wasn't practical for me or very good in the winter. I love the new 2010 cameros, i wish i could afford a winter vehicle and a summer vehicle LOL
can't wait to see pic's of your new car.

judy · 03-20-2010, 03:28 PM

I do love this car! I cannot figure out how to open the hatchback! I'll figure it out...I already googled it.

I have to figure out a way to find it in parking lots. I already went over to the wrong silver suv today! I am also used to a red car, Lynne. (So easy to spot)

Maybe I'll paint a big red heart on the side! (just kidding)

Hey Judy...get in your new wheels and come pick me up!!

Janet · 03-21-2010, 05:50 AM

Congratulations Judy!! So glad you were able to get the car and enjoy driving it too. I have a Dodge Caravan and like the room, but would rather have a 4WT or AWD because of the winter months. I'm so anxious to see pictures of your new ride. If anyone is around when you're taking pictures....have them take one of you sitting in it. I'm so happy for you Judy!!!

judy · 03-22-2010, 03:58 PM

It is such a good car!! I will get some pictures tomorrow. Today was rainy and yucky out.

Janet · 03-22-2010, 04:13 PM

It was rainy and yukky here all day too. I can't wait to see your new car, it sounds wonderful.

gja1000 · 03-24-2010, 05:07 PM

Janet · 03-25-2010, 04:16 PM
