An unusual visitor at the office.
Busy, busy, busy. I have had little to no time to journal. After getting back from vacation, I went right back to car hunting. We were looking at Sentras because the price was so attractive but after talking to a friend who said that they bought a commuter car once and fought over who had to drive it – I realized we needed to get a more comfortable car. A vehicle you drive on a daily basis is not something to compromise on. From the beginning, I wanted an Altima. I just love the way they look. The problem is that I wanted a needle in a haystack because I love the rear spoiler but wanted all the other perks, like blind spot warning, the convenience package, etc. Short of customizing a new one ($$$), I was at the mercy of getting lucky enough to find one that someone else had customized and added on the rear spoiler to the SV trim level when they bought it new. I had been searching for over a month, and on Monday the one that matched all of my boxes popped up at a dealership nearby. Shortly after, this deer showed up in my window at work. We get wild turkeys every now and again, but never deer. It was right smack in the middle of the day too. I took it as a good omen. Like my Mother was watching over me and letting me know that this car was the one for me. Sounds silly, I know.
I let my husband know that I think I found what I wanted and with a $14,900 price tag, he was happy. It’s certified pre-owned, with 28,000 miles, and we opted for the full coverage warranty, up to 7 years or 100,000 miles. After we bought it, the dealer pulled out the original price tag that the first buyer paid and it had $29,000 on it. Crazy. I drove her home the next day, and I have to say I LOVE my new car. I don’t’ feel worthy, lol. I can’t believe how much I love driving it. It has been 14 years since I have bought a vehicle for myself.
I am still dancing on the blue line. I made myself get back into the work-out routine last night. Man, it’s tough after such a long vacation of leisure! I don’t want to lose everything I have worked for though. Hope you all are having a great week!
