CAR SHOPPING PART III: THE SAGA CONTINUES


DESPERATE, YES WE ARE. WE BEG MY AUNT AND UNCLE FOR THEIR CAR AND GAS UP.. MORE MONEY INTO A CAR THAT WE DONT OWN OR IS UNDRIVEABLE(SO FAR, $60-P'S UNDRIVABLE CAR, $55-MY UNDRIVABLE CAR, $55-UNCLE'S TRUCK, $20-AUNT'S HONDA=$190 IN GAS TO CARS THAT WE DONOT OWN, OR DONOT DRIVE). WE ROLL UP TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO HAS NOW PICKED A 1/2 TON TRUCK FOR ME TO DRIVE, (ON THEIR BEHALF, IT IS 4 DOOR) TO SEE WHAT THE DEAL REALLY IS.


OBVIOUSLY, I AM NOT BUYING A TRUCK THAT REQUIRES: WRANGLERS, BELT BUCKLES, AND A CONFERATE FLAG....I SELL MAKEUP..REMEMBER??




THE FINANCE GUY HAS FINALLY PICKED A CAR THAT IS SUITABLE FOR ME!YAY! HOWEVER, P HAS NO RIDE TO WORK...ANOTHER PROBLEM. NOW WE HAVE HOPEFULLY BARTERED 2 CARS WITH SOMEWHAT DECENT PAYMENTS....WHO KNOWS?! THIS IS TRULY IN GOD'S HANDS...CAR SHOPPING IS A COMPLETE NIGHTMARE!




HOWEVER, WE ARE GREATFUL FOR THE ONE WE HAVE....SO FAR!!

Car Shopping Part II

So, P&I wake up to a an even bigger pile of crap than the day before....his car officially croaked...oil is everywhere, and the brakes stopped working; the mechanic says their is nothing he can do.....7.05.2008 R.I.P 9o'Grand Prix


The nightmare of car shopping continues...So, the 2nd dealership(not the one with the sales guy smoking a ciggy) cannot seem to find us anything except a V8. Who are we kidding with this??? I am finding this whole car shopping a scam...I am being punished for bad shopping behavior in my early 20's(not so great credit).....Please Pray that God guides us to the right situation.

CARS!...the only way to get to work!


So, my car has major issues...they can be fixed...at a HUGE price...So, P and I decided buying a new one is probably the better choice. Well, where to start??
11am thursday(day before the 4th) we go to a dealer, needless to say, this "dealership" is BEHIND a chevy dealer, with maybe 20 cars, 15 are gas hogs, and nothing that they promised on the phone. P and I are desperate and pathetic and quickly running out of options. So...we wait, and wait and wait and wait. The dealer finally comes back, cig in hand and takes us out to look at...you guessed it SUV's ! Why yes, we only want 20 miles to the gallon and please, oh, please give us a HUGE payment to go along with it.
We may be desperate, however, we are not quite there yet.....
