Who Thought This Was a Good Idea Anyway?
Somehow I've gone through life without ever having to buy a car. Some kids get hand me down clothes, I got a hand me down car. And it's been good to me over the years, even if I never would have picked that car for myself. But it's growing old, and I want a new car. I want a bright shiny new car with that new car smell. I know exactly what car I want. And I'm ready to buy.
Except it's not like buying a new pair of shoes. I have to figure out the best way to finance it. I have to prepare myself to haggle with some car salesman over how much I want to pay for it. Who came up with this? My head is swirling. I'm supposed to know how much the car "actually" costs, compared to what the dealership "wants" me to pay, so I can barter a salesman down to an acceptable monthly payment. This doesn't sound like shopping. This sounds like torture. Who invented this torment anyway?
Right about now, my old car starts looking pretty good. Who needs a new car anyway, right?
But......there's that new car smell.....and it's cute and shiny......
Shopping is not supposed to be this stressful. Seriously, I just want a new car. That's not too much to ask, right?
Someone pass the chocolate....
