The Waiting......Sooooo much waiting
Rick and I bought a brand new car. It is a 2003 Toyota Corolla S. It is a very nice car, but the whole car buying experience has been very stressful and filled with waiting. We went to Coeur d'Alene Honda on Monday morning. They told us having my grandma co-sign would be fine and that since Rick has a driver's license that it is no problem that I don't. We gave then the info, then we waited, we found out that we were approved but rick could not be on the contract because he is not related to my Grandma and we are not married yet, but that we for sure had the car they just had to find a way to do it. Then we waited. They sent the car we were buying out back to be washed. Then we waited some more. Finally they told us what I knew all along. There is no way to sell a car to a person without a driver's license. So, discouraged we went home. Then, we began thinking about it. There are lots of people who have co-signers that are not related to them. I called Parker Toyota and spoke with their financing depart. They said that no of course you don't need to be related to the co-signer. So we went down and found a car we like even better than the one we were going to get at Honda. Parker Toyota was great. The salesman even drove to Superior, Mt yesterday on his day off to get the papers signed by my Grandma. We were supposed to get the car this morning before work (Finally!!!), but the salesman called us at 9:30 this morning to tell us that he could not find a baby-sitter for his son (it's his day off again), so we have to wait until tomorrow at 11:30 to get the car. I feel like I can't possibly wait any more. It is going to be so nice for us to have a car that we can go to Spokane or Seattle or anywhere we want. I have never even been on a trip with my own fiance.
