My van is totaled
So today the insurance company cut me a check for my van. It is enough for a downpayment on another car. So we went to the dealership.
Waiting for them to run our credit
They came back with WTH
They were trying to say our credit was not as good as I know it is. I told them off and showed them Bullshit I know our credit is higher. They pulled it again and it was. I think they showed our old report from when we bought our last car.
Then they tried to slide stuff in to make my payment higher
No, I will walk away and go down the street to another dealer. So then we finally get $11 apart for my monthly payment. I told them I would walk over that $11. I got the price and payment I wanted.
So I got an early birthday present
A new 2018 Kia Rio with 15 miles on it. A cheap car to get me from point a to point b with a kick ass warranty.
RIP big Bertha
That was the name I gave my van. Now I got to name my new car. I am not sure if it is a he or she yet. Should know in a few days of driving it to discover its gender. Yes I name my cars do not judge me. LOL
No shame in naming your car. I also do that :D
Oh, that's shiny! I'm so glad things are looking up. And you look great in these photos - so happy!
I've never had a brand new car. It must be so satisfying!
My husband convienced me years ago when you buy used cars 99% of the time you are buying someone else problems they did not want to fixed. Then we sat down and I wrote down the used cars I have had over a 5 year period and discovered with repairs I was spending just as much as a new car costs.
The repairs can be a drag. But we've had great luck with foreign cars - BMW, Saabs, and Volvo especially. The Prius I drive now was my grandfather and he bent the frame driving it across a parking lot median, but despite a little shimmy on the highway it hasn't needed any work.
It looks so nice. Congratulation for new car. Advance Happy birthday to you in case if I miss later :)
Sweet! Good for you getting the deal you wanted.
Oh, and watch your head getting in. I went from a van to a car recently and have already smacked my noggin'.
I will thanks for the tip
It's a good tip! Happy early birthday 💜 i better go check the mail!!
@yogajill thanks and it should be there any day. As long as custom's don't hold it up
Congradulations! dont worry I also name my cars. My first car was a honda civic my mom handed down to me, I named her Cece (girl) my second car was a renault which I named Bino ( was a boy) and my current car is a citroen and her name is Bubbles. Good luck with chosing a name!
