vrooom vrooom




So we had been talking about getting a new vehicle for a while. Our 99 maxima was giving a headache of trouble (the midas people knew us by name), so after the fourth time in the shop and another 200$ later we had enough. The hunt began. We had decided that we wanted a toyota highlander. We went to a big name dealership and they had one. We test drove it and got all the pressure in the world from him to buy it that day. My uncle is the general sales manger of a toyota dealership in New Mexico so we wanted to talk to him before be bought anything to see what kind of deal he could do for us. The day we talked to him the best deal he could do was more than the price we could get here so we decided to narrow the search. We decided that since were going to keep it for a long time to go with the Highlander that has 7 passenger seating. Well the one at the big name dealership didn't have that so it took that one out of the picture. Next we got on Autotrader and searched, we found one that was an incredible deal as long as there wasn't anything wrong with it. So we test drove it, oh ya by the way I was having the most incredible tooth ache of all time while doing this process. So anyway we test drove it and really liked it. David had to go back to work and I needed to pick up my brother and sister from school so we didn't really talk with the salesman about price. David then called back to the dealer and told them our offer. The car was priced really low to begin with but they knocked another 700$ then we went to the bank. We were approved pretty easily and we got the Highlander for $5000 under the actuall value of it. We walked in and paid for it with a check and then it was ours!!!!!
