I was very proud of
myself this last friday.
We sold my car and I
didn’t cry!
Well I cried thinking
about it before hand, but when they made us an offer and handed us a check, it
was pretty easy to hand them the keys.
The plan was to sell
my car and then drive to Tupelo to look at a car I found that I liked, and if I
liked it get it.
Step one worked
great. Seeing as the car needed tons of money and work, we weren’t expecting
much. So we were pleasantly surprised by the offer.
Step two is where the
plan went awry…
I called that morning to see that the car I
wanted was still there and they assured me it was. So after selling my car we
drove the hour drive to see the car. We get there and are told another couple
was looking at the car and might make an offer but if we would wait a couple
minutes to see whether they wanted it.
They wanted it, but
then we were told to wait a few more minutes, the other couple was on the phone
with the bank for a very long time and it didn’t look like the deal would go
through.
After waiting about
an hour we were told that the dealer still didn’t think the deal would go
through and if we wanted to grab food or go shopping and call back in 30
minutes they’d let us know what’s going on.
We ate… thankfully it
was Five Guys and the morning sickness is gone enough that I ate and enjoyed my
first hamburger in months.
We called and after a
few confusing calls, the bad news was the couple bought the car we wanted. But
good news they have another of the same model.
That’s only good news
for the dealer because the other car is $10,000 more than the car we wanted!
Luckily we did some
maternity shopping while we were there so it wasn’t totally a loss.
Now I am doubly proud
of myself, I didn’t cry when I sold my car and I didn’t cry when the car I wanted
sold and I wasted and hour and a half at a car dealer.
