new car!!
My new car came on Saturday! I had bought it though carsdirect.com and it was so easy and hassle-free. I know, I know – I must sound like an ad! :-) I’d started with emailing dealers to find out if they had the one I wanted in stock, with a certain color and a few options, and they kept replying with slightly vague answers, usually implying they had it in stock when they didn’t, in a effort to get me to walk in to their dealership. Ugh, so annoying.
So I filled out the form on carsdirect to have someone call me back and dealt with one incredibly helpful, mindful person from the first ring to the day it was delivered. The car I wanted was just coming into port, so he put me in touch with one person at the dealership it was being sent to and that guy was the one who personally drove the car to our house, let us drive it around the neighborhood, walked through signing the paperwork with us (a 5-minute process), and then spent another 15 minutes in the car with me, walking me through all the features & settings. He was in and out in an hour and I had a shiny new car. :-) I just can’t imagine buying a car the “old” way now.
