After 4 days, 8 dealerships, 6 test drives, and 1 flood we have a new car. Here are pictures, and then I’ll elaborate.
Behold the Marshmallow
I’ll be brief, but suffice it to say that buying a new car isn’t really my favorite thing. We visited two dealerships on Sunday, three on Monday, one on Tuesday and two on Wednesday. We would have purchased the car (a 2009 Honda Fit Sport with 76555 miles) on Wednesday, but our mechanic didn’t have any available openings till Friday. He checked it out, told us it was good and we bought it. I just want to give a shout out to David at Galpin Ford for a very good buying experience. Very low pressure and helpful. I would also like to thank Darrel at Jim’s Alignment & Brakes for looking at the car. Both guys were very helpful.
The flood has nothing to do with the car other than it happened Thursday evening in Mayer. In case you are wondering that is the same Mayer that was evacuated because of a forest fire earlier this month. No one was hurt, so that is good.
We had a good week in AZ, but would have liked to spend more time with family and less time car shopping. I guess it is what it is. Ashely and I are not ready for this work week to start and are rather tired.
