So I was looking forward to trading in my '05 Saab 93 for something a little bigger. I went to check out the FJ's because they are super cute. I know, I know, I can't fit in my buyers, but sometimes that is a good thing, especially when the buyers want to bring their nephew with their one-year old to go look at houses. So I have a friend that told me I would get it at employees discount, Yay, super excited. So I drive in and see one that has all the upgrades; big tires, lights all over, sunroof... I tell them I'm gonna trade in my car and they take it to the shop. After a few minutes, they come back and tell me how much they'll give me for it. Like $4000 less than what I owe!! Which means my regular payment would go up $180 extra per month for the difference of what I owe and what they'll give me. I was so disappointed. I was so looking forward to driving a new vehicle. I decided not to go for it just because I didn't want to keep getting deeper into the hole everytime I trade in a car. So now I must wait until my balance goes down, but then I thought, so will the value of the car! What gives? I will have to look for a dealer that will pay my entire balance (or at least half) so that I can get a new car. If only my friends shop guy would give me more. They also tried selling me a BMW, which was beautiful, and that payment would be about the same as the FJ. Which gets me more upset, that I can't get neither one. And I really like the white BMW. But oh well, I will continue looking for a dealer that will give me a good deal for my trade. I want to upgrade, I don't want to get a little neon (no offense).
Thanks for listening to me, I needed to vent. :)
