Friday Fun…Excruciating
When’s the last time you bought a car? It’s been years for us. We tend to like what we buy. Rarely do we look at each other and say, “Let’s buy a car!”
We’ve had large SUVs and small convertibles; we’ve had sedans, sports cars, and a VW bus. Larry does the majority of the work on them. He enjoys tinkering, is good at it, and trusts only a handful of mechanics.
However, recently our 2009 Prius decided it was time to head out to the hybrid pasture. So off we went…to a place we never journey…where if you’re not careful, you’ll never be found again. (just kidding)
So, if you haven’t bought a new car recently, take heed.
-Pretend you can’t hear and walk around until you find the car you want. Otherwise, leave while you can!
-Don’t fall for the “this is included” line.
You can pay an extra $2500 for a “special warranty” that covers what your manufacturer’s warranty includes.
- For $500, you get our special car theft package. If your car is stolen, they can track and find it. Passed.
-Why do I need to speak with the Finance Department?
Even though we were paying cash, we had to wait 30 minutes to speak with the financial department so they could try to sell us more “extras.”
This whole car thing began at 11 am, and we were finally home by 6:30 pm.
So, for some Friday Fun, do you have any “fun” experiences car shopping?
