So far - this is working out pretty well. One subject per posting.
Paul and I have been car/van shopping. What a lot of rigamarole. Yesterday,
we went to the dealership where he leased our present van and the ones before that. The owner quoted a price to us. It was fine. We decided to go to another dealership and check out their cars and pricings.
So . . . we found a new van that we loved at this second dealership. And a really young salesman who looked like he couldn't have been more than 23 yrs. old. The van had everything we wanted plus more. . . which was a dvd player, headphones, etc. Since we don't have any children, perhaps Gracie could use it on long trips??? But it was a package deal with the back-up camera which we really wanted. You couldn't get one without the other. (Actually, I didn't care for the car color - a metallic bright blue. But when you're in it, you don't see the outside color anyway so I didn't mind it. )
Were we in for a surprise! At the second dealership, the young guy and his section boss came up with a lease price that was DOUBLE the first dealer. Paul seems to think the first guy may have made a small mistake, but not enuf to warrant the huge difference. We'll see, as we go to another dealership tomorrow. And back to the first guy. It sure is interesting to go car-shopping. The second dealership was shocked when we told them the price we were offered by the first guy. They didn't change the price though. Perhaps they did a little bit. They also offered for us to finance the van for 84 months at the lower price. That is seven years, folks. Which is great at our age.
Paul seems to think we may get a call tomorrow back from them. It would have been nice to help that young salesman out.
So - that's all the news from this end of the woods. What's happenin' in your neighborhood?
