She’s a smart car shopper
I’m grooving on Cat’s post about taking a car they were thinking about buying to the mechanic to have it checked out. Smart. Smart. Smart. I need to get into the same frame of mind when it comes to car shopping. I tend to want to trust the people selling me the car a little too much. I mean, there is that frugal street-smart shopper inside of me, but she is duking it out with the me that wants to put on the rose colored glasses.
Cat, I don’t know you’re budget but I have a Hyundai I’m going to sell. I got two cars after the divorce and don’t want to insure both of them. I think I live close-ish to you.
Thanks for the thought…our budget isn’t the best at the moment about $1200 is the most we can do to buy something outright and that’s pushing it. Unless we can find a dealer finance who isn’t trying to sell us something on it’s ‘last wheels’ and use that as a downpayment I think we’re going to be putting the car shopping on hold for a couple of months.
