I Got The Car!!!

[judy]

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!
