You may have read about my car shopping adventure on Saturday HERE.
And the salesman gave us the hard pressure sell on Sonic the Hedgehog here.....
I spent the rest of the weekend doing some research and reading reviews of the car I wanted to buy, the Chevy Spark.
And while it is a good car it turns out it isn't the car I should buy.
I want to take a lot of long distance trips in this and it's just not cut out for long haul high speed interstate jaunts about the country.....unless I want to invest in a race car drivers kidney belt and really good earplugs. lolz
So goodbye to this Grape Ice little beauty......
Which means I am now focusing on buying a Sonic, the next size Chevy car up.
And if I get one, of course, I'd prefer it be Deep Magenta, the Limited Edition color for Spring 2014.
Like Sonic the Hedgehog pictured above.
I had put feelers out with Chevy dealers within a 75 mile radius last Thursday.
So one particular dealer has been leaving me emails and phone messages since then.
They seem hot to make some money.
So I went to their website and lo and behold they have the exact same Sonic in the exact same color and option package as the one the guy in Wilkes-Barre wants to sell me.
So now I am going to play ball with these two dealers.
A little game of "I have a price of $X from the other guy, so can you beat him out for my business?"
I wasn't totally happy with the price the WB dealer gave me for a bottom line so let's see if I can get this price down by buying the car from the other dealer OR if WB dealer will match or beat the other dealer's price.
I see on CarGurus that this car has been sitting for almost a year on their lot so that gives me some edge.
Let's see how far under $18K I can get them.
I've got some leverage since I am NOT emotionally invested in throwing this kind of money on a car and I can totally just walk away.
And I will.
This gal can play with the big boys....
I may not have a penis but boy, do I have balls!
