I absolutely detest shopping for a car. The last two vehicles we purchased were from a car rental company that sells their cars after they are no longer renting them. Very pleased with our purchases from a quality and a cost standpoint. You guys know how much I love Dave Ramsey and these vehicles fall into the DR category.
Sprat is going to need a car this next year at school, Big T gets his car in August. Sprat's new school is a little further out of the city than that first school and the new school allows sophomores to have cars on campus. No, he does not get to pick out what he wants, he will take what we pick out and be happy. We are now shopping reliable used cars and I have gone back to the rental place. I have been hawking this website and the lot since it is close to us. They used to carry a lot of the vehicle I am looking for for Sprat and now they do not have any from this manufacturer. I am a little bummed and so I have ventured out to the local car lots. Big mistake, car lots are awful, they want to sell you more car than you want or can afford. In my case they are trying to sell me more than I want to afford. I have a dollar amount I am going to spend and I am not going over that for any reason. I am sticking to my DR plan. I am not borrowing money to buy this car, we did not borrow to buy the other two and I am not going to for this one either. Whewww!! It feels good too say that, I will not go into debt for this.
I will share a little secret too, I am having a little mid - life crisis around this car shopping. I have found a car that I want and again I have been hawking car websites and such looking for the best deal. I have had to put that on the back burner till we can get Sprat something to drive but I am still shopping for me. This will put my mid - life crisis on hold for just a bit because I will not go into debt for my mid-life crisis. NO more debt for this family!!
Stay tuned for my car shopping adventure.
