As you know, ever since I got my car back from the auto body shop, it has not been quite right. My plan was to go to Pennsylvania in about a week and change and have my uncle join me in helping me pick out a new car. He is a retired car salesman, and knows all the tricks.
Unfortunately, this has to be moved up a bit, and has to be done locally. My engine light popped on this morning as I was heading to go walking.
So tomorrow, I am heading to a Toyota dealership to trade in my car. I have read over some reports from Edmunds, and I have some negotiating tips from my uncle. With this information, my uncle available on a cell phone, and a down payment, I am hoping to be ready for this. I just hope my car doesn't die before I get this done.
With this economy, a car dealer should be quite ready to make a deal. I am extremely nervous about all this, but it is no longer a matter of waiting. I refuse to put another nickel into this car. It is cleaned out, and is ready for me to say goodbye. I will report in my next entry how it went.
Work went well today, and I am off the next three days; I have no idea if Beth will be joining me on Sunday for Capital Pride. And it doesn't matter.
So if anyone is reading this, wish me luck!
