So Luke sold his Mustang....it was hard at first, but we got something so much better! With winter looming and a move to Wisconsin a real possibility...and my insecurity with driving in the snow...and....etc. We decided a small SUV would be a good decision. So Luke went car shopping on Monday and I was planning on going on Tuesday. Well, on our way home Luke and I decided to look at the ONE place that was open past 7pm...so we go and are greeted by a great guy named Travis. He's showing us all the cars, but none of them are really 'jiving' with me. I really wanted a Jeep Liberty or a Ford Escape with pretty low miles, etc, etc. Luke wanted a Toyota 4Runner, but no luck there either. So Travis actually wants to drive with us to Salt Lake the next day to check out the other dealers with us...I was like, sure and Luke was like, cool...and at about 9pm, we decided the car shopping would reconvene Tuesday.
So, we're leaving, right? And Travis is calling Luke right as we're about to pull out onto University. He's like, 'come back now!' so we do...and what do we see? A Ford Escape, 18,000 miles, LEATHER interior, roof rack, and all around awesome-ness......now I don't want to sound ridiculous, but it was love at first sight....so Luke negotiates, and negotiates....I was the worst, because I was so excited, every offer that came in I was like, yeah! let's buy it now! Luke calmed me down and haggled his the price down $3,000! He's awesome :) Oh, and then Travis took us to dinner. Bonus!
The next day, we give them a cashier's check and now we are the proud new owner of Arnold (as I have christened him): He is beautiful :)
