The used car shopping ordeal is finally over. After much research and driving back and forth, and having P. look at it twice and asking for a favor from a very loving uncle to give an honest opinion…..she is now the proud owner of a 1998 Acura. It’s a little black 2 door coupe and she looks so cute in it. It of course has a few issues, but the mechanics are good and Acuras last forever so I feel pretty good about it.
One of the great things about being over 29 is that you just don’t take as much crap from anybody. Used car salesmen in particular. It was great, we marched in with all our facts and figures gave him our price ($1000 under what they were asking) and when he said no, handed back the keys, said thank you very much and left. An hour later they were on the phone talking to P and trying to reach me. After it was all said and done, we only came up $200.
We picked it up last night and it was so cool to see her drive off in her new wheels. Oh and by the way, she payed for the car herself. Not a penny came from P or I. We have good kids!
