I found a car!!!

I got an email from carfax, about a couple of 5 speed Subarus for sale in the area. I had signed up for these kind of "alerts" with a few online car sites.

This is a one-owner, well cared for, 2004 Subaru Outback. I drove it yesterday, and it is just fine. It drives very nicely, hugs the road well, and I will be very happy and comfortable with this car.

I don't love the color. I wanted black, but this is silver, with some nice black trimming. The dealer told me that silver is really better than black for this area because it won't show the snow dirt, mud dirt, dirt dirt, etc. as much. I still wanted black! I will certainly learn to live with it though.

I am waiting to talk to my mechanic about when he can go take a look at it for me. Then I'll go pick it up! My SIL offered to check it out for me, but I'll think of some reason for sending my mechanic. As I have learned, business and family do not mix! He will go with me to pick it up though. I'm going to go with cash. I'm hoping the dealer comes down to my price if I offer him cash.

I am very happy. Please wish me luck!
