The Saga of the Change of Cars
As my decisive post might have suggested, I bought a new car this week. A NEW new car. Some of you at one's desire recall that I have said on multiple occasions that I would not in any degree buy a brand new car again. They're too priceless, they depreciate the second you zeal them off the lot, blah blah blah, etc. Nonetheless, I now comprise this 2008 Hyundai Accent parked skin the church.
I was quite loathe to give up my old car, a 2000 Chevy Cavalier, consideration its many issues. It had nearly 180,000 miles on it, and those were my 180,000 miles. I bought it in 1999 as a graduation exhibit to myself, when it had eleven miles on it, six of them from my assay drive. It has been a reliable car for nine years, but it's been usual rapidly downhill for the last six months of so. I reluctantly started searching for hardened cars, but found nothing in a reasonable consequence range that was as comfortable, fun, or nourishment efficient as my car. It seems that every one is currently looking for used, disconcerted, fuel efficient cars, and therefore the prices press been jacked up into ridiculousness. The financing terms they were oblation were pretty ludicrous as coolly. Maybe it's just me, but buying a car on belief card-like interest didn't sound like such a hot idea. After individual trips to car lots that active me sitting at a desk and asking, "Are you kidding me?" I gave up and clear to try putting some money into the old car as a substitute for. Good idea, right?
Yeah...no. Two mechanics cultured me that I'd have to drop at least $2,000 for my car to indeed be safe to drive. Back to right and proper one.
Through a series of miscommunications, I ended up at a dealership to which I did not purpose to go - a dealership selling only new cars. Hrm. Ah, what the heck, I'll analysis drive a few and see what I like. A few spins approximately the block and one really remarkable attend to later, and I left the lot with my tag...
