This morning we sold my car. My cute little 2003 Saturn. It's been a great car and I actually loved it. It only needed two repairs in the 3 years that we owned it, and it still has less than 108,000 miles on it. She didn't do so great on the highway, which is why we decided that it was time for a new car. Makes sense right? We want to turn Will's car into strictly a commuter car, so we don't have to repair that one as much, and it'll be nice to have a new car that we can depend on.
^^doesn't it just scream, "I'm dependable"?
Yesterday I got a call from some random guy with the same name as my husband. He wanted to meet up so that he could take a look at the car. He sounded really nice on the phone, but I've watched Criminal Minds so I knew better than to meet him alone. Will and I met him at the park near our house in the freezing cold wind. He liked what he saw and asked to drive it over to his mechanic to get a quick inspection. After he drove off Will and I went home waiting for him to call so we could meet back up. He called me after the inspection and offered to buy it right then. What a relief. He wanted a couple hundred off because the AC didn't work, but we had no problem with that, seeing as we asked a certain amount but had planned to actually get $500 or more less than what we asked. So a couple hundred was amazing for us. Will took care of the actual transaction this morning, and we are now a one car family. It's kind of exciting.
The new car we purchased is still being shipped out to us, so hopefully it will be here by Tuesday at the latest. Cross your fingers for us.
I've never owned a car less than 10 years old, so I am over the moon about getting our new car. Plus it's a jeep so it will be crazy fun to drive.
Selling cars is stressful, and dealing with potential buyers is even more stressful, but at least it's over. I should probably take down my ad now. haha.
Happy almost Friday
