Monday, January 28, 2008 - How important is new transportation?

Posted in Personal Musings

     Gosh, I hate to shop for a new car. It doesn't matter when or where or with whom; it's just such a trying experience. I have never been able to go to a dealership and leave within less than 4 hours. This "experience" lastest 6 hours! Count 'em! Six hours! Who in their right mind spends 6 hours in any car dealership? Unless you work there, there is no good reason to spend that much time in any store. By the time to test drive, talk about what's on the lot, do comparisons, negotiate a trade, and talk to a financial guy, the whole day is shot. That's probably why I don't car shop. I get to go at the end of the process. I don't deal well with the "shopping" part of car buying. I don't care to test drive, compare, or talk about accessories.
      Then I have to agree to back for this vehicle for a long time so that by time I finish paying for this mode of transportation, it will not only be old but obsolete and I'm sure my husband will be looking for a new car. It's like a never ending expense. Right now I have a car that is paid for and running. Granted it's not brand new ( 5 years old and counting), but is runs well and meets my needs.
    I guess tomorrow is the big day. Do we trade or do we keep what we have? Well, I don't plan to lose any sleep over this one. RJ can think about it since it was his idea. I have other things to worry about.
