The car purchase, that is.
Though I will probably spend the next week curled up in a ball, whimpering softly after having to plunk down the cash, it had to be done.
Check it out.....
I got them down about $2,200K from what they initially wanted. And I clawed my way there a $100 at a time.....ugh.
The car cost $17,766 before tax, tags and title.
This was my first time working a deal without "a penis" along.
Yah, I had a man with me at this place the first time we went into that dealer but I worked the other dealers via the internet and the phone and closed this deal on the phone.
The salesman sputtered at first that me, the WIFE, had called him back and wanted to dicker the price.
Hubs is so bad at this game and if I had left it to him we'd probably had paid MSRP or very close to it.
I did the research and found the same car(same everything)at another area dealer, plus found this color was a slow seller, and used both of those points to get both dealers to bid it down until one cried "Uncle".
Plus if something had come up at any point to turn me off of this car/model/deal, I had a Corolla waiting in the wings with a firm price offer I could live with.
Just call me Faye Dunaway in "Mommie Dearest"....
And if I didn't get a good deal please don't tell me and spoil this for me......lolz
So my next question is.....
Who wants a freeloading visit this Summer?
I gots wheels, will travel!!!
