After saying, "Tomorrow I'll go to such-and-such [dealer] to see an XYZ," THREE times earlier in the week and then deciding against it, I finally visited a dealer yesterday. I've done all I can online, knowing that once I set foot in a car showroom there will be a certain amount of pressure to buy something. Now. So I had narrowed things down to a couple makes and models. Checkbook in hand, I was prepared to make a purchase yesterday. But I was told that the car that I'd come to purchase had just been sold. Although that's quite possible--nice car and really good price--I notice that it's still on the dealer's website. Hum...
I was, of course, directed to another car, one actually on the lot, a beautiful used BMW. Also a very good price. I test-drove it. Gorgeous car, but not what I'm looking for. The apartment building where I live has off-street parking--very needed--but it is very tight. We've all scratched our cars--or worse--due to the tight quarters. I was hoping my old car would last until I have a better parking situation. The BMW is slightly larger than my old Volvo. I need smaller, not larger. No BMW.
