Awww yeah.
You see this pretty little silver number? Yeah. It's mine. All mine. My name is the one on the title. My name is the one on the insurance. Just mine. No one elses.
'07 Mazda6. It goes vroom. And I was a bargaining demon. I got the car for 2.5k less than the asking price. Yes, I expected them to come down. But not that far. Not to my ideal monthly payment number. Not to a better APR than I should have given my credit.
I bargained. I played ever cheap card I had, including the "single mom who has to take anything over $x a month out of our food budget". I walked out on them more than once. I had them bringing down the finance director to talk to me. I had them chasing after me in the rain. It was awesome. I feel... empowered.
And vroomy.
