Friday's Big Event



The Chrysler dealer in town was bought out by the Dodge dealer in town, and I got a letter from them saying I was in the customer database, so I was invited to check out their inventory clearance sale. Called a friend, to see if he'd want to wander around with me and see if they actually had decent prices on stuff.

This 2008 convertible was sitting there, looked nice, but didn't have a price on the window, so I asked. Well, they didn't just tell me the sticker price, they "ran all the numbers" and gave me a monthly payment. I made him give me the actual numbers, then brought him down a couple thousand. He asked if I would buy the car at the lower price, and I said sure. Signed couple forms, swapped keys, and drove away. Zero money out of pocket, and my monthly payment is $50 less.

My friend just sat there gaping at me. "I can't believe you just bought a car." I was rather even-tempered through the whole thing. Even the salesman was surprised at how ... unemotional I was about it. Those of you who know me, won't be so surprised!
