It has been a stressful couple of weeks at our house with one car being totaled and then the other two having mechanical problems.
It seems all of our bad luck comes in one big lump which can be a blessing for the rest of the year but seems a curse while it’s going on.
We’ve looked at so many used cars and car lots. A new car isn’t in the mix not that I couldn’t figure out a way to afford it but it just seems like new cars aren’t worth the money being asked for them.
I had a line on a Ford Escape. Older but in good shape with low miles. And I can handle that. I can work on that if need be. But that car was sold before we got to it.
We went to too many lots Saturday looking at overpriced used cars. Just because the blue book says it’s worth that doesn’t mean it is. Some of these folks are proud of their merchandise and you can see that in the window sticker.
Saturday night I found a nice older Dodge Journey online in our price range and we reached out and never heard back. Sunday we rode out to find the car lot with no luck. This morning my wife found it and sent me the number.
I called and the salesman said someone was out test-driving it. I figured we weren’t going to get it. Too late.
Not to be.
There’s more to this…
