Take it Outside!~

Woman to Woman~How to buy a car! How it all began!

I am an intelligent, resourceful, responsible woman. I may have slip ups from time to time but I certainly think that I can help DD choose a new car.

Thinking back in time I remember that I went out and chose the car she has now. I was sent by DH to do the leg work. He sent me on a mission to buy a car for 5K! This was in 2001. I'm telling you, there's not a car out there that I would have let DD drive that you could buy for 5K.

I chose this little Ford Escort ZX2. I would be happy to drive it myself. It has pep and it's just plain cute. The sticker price on the car was around 10K and we got it for 8K. I paid for it with my paycheck with payroll deduction to the credit union at the hospital I worked at. The car is titled in my name.

Today I was feeling a bit apprehensive about Saturday's trip to the city to help DD choose a much needed new car. DD got a little carried away with new car fever and believe me those car sales people can work a deal anyway you want! So, I asked DH if he would go with me on said adventure and he told me, "only if I have to!" Now, he has been calling with words of advice and wisdom all day long. Telling me if the car is in such bad shape that she should have it fixed. Asking me if I know what's wrong with it.

Come to think of it, I've been the one to see about this car and DD's safety. I'm the one who decided to send my car back to college with her and keep the little car until we could get the rear lights fixed! For pity sakes, you can't send a kid 100 miles down the road with no tail lights after dark! This is not a decision that requires a lot of thought, to me it's a no brainer!

Come to think of it my car's back up lights are out! There's a couple of cosmetic things that need to be done and still need to be done!~ I suppose that will be the next issue I step up and address!

Alrighty then, I think I'll be better off doing this myself!

I don't understand men. I think I know more about cars than men......
