What moves me
Seems like only February of 2006, that I was telling you all about the Mitsubishi Eclipse Sypder I had intentions to buy. Now wait, it was just a year and nine months ago that I was telling you about my convertible. Wow, how time flies when you buy, or have a bank let you pay them for, 3 cars in 3 years.
So, you can probably tell by that first paragraph, that I am about to tell you of yet another car I am purchasing for my driving pleasure; and you would be absolutely correct in thinking that I am about to tell you of yet another car I am purchasing for my driving pleasure.
Damn, it makes me so happy that we have this bond, where you know what Im gonna type about before I actually type it. Hopefully that wont last, since if you knew what I was gonna type about before I did, thered be no need for the half dozen of you that are left, to actually visit this site anymore; and then what would you do once every couple of months or so? Hmmm?
So anyway, back to the car. Yes, I am purchasing a new car, and this time the word new actually means new; because, sometime soon hopefully, I will be the proud owne... I mean, person who is paying a bank to let me have, a brand new 2008 Scion TC.
Id always been interested in getting one of these, but considering some of the issues Jenn and I have had with my Eclipse, we decided now was as good a time as any. That photo above does also represent the color Im getting as well, Black Cherry; as well as going back to a manual-shift car. Ever since I got that Eclipse, I have just itched to go back to manual-shift, and Im getting my chance with my first-ever brand new car.
Now I just have to actually get the car. Allow me to elaborate.
Our nearest local dealership sold both their models the day we were going to look, so Jenn found a dealer in Kent that said they had two manuals, an '07 and an '08. When we got to the dealership, however, the salesman wasnt really paying attention and the '08 was an automatic.
We decided to, at least, test-drive the '07; and with Scions no-haggle policy, we thought wed be in and out in time to try a dealer that actually had an manual '08. That didnt exactly work to leave in time, but with ther assurances of the salesman, we stuck with Kent to buy the car.
Problem is now, with what im losing on my Eclipse, which Jenn and I agreed is better than keeping it and putting that much more money into it, my payment will be more than the Eclipse at about 6 years. We're still going through with it, but now we have to wait till our financings approved before the dealer will even begin trying to locate what will be my new car.
Saying Im a little ansy, is putting it mildly, especially after I could have potentially walked out of a dealer in Akron with the car on Monday; and now to possibly not even get until next weekend is a tad upsetting.
Course, thats what you get believing a car salesman, I guess.
