My wife and I went car shopping yesterday.  After visiting several dealerships we made our decision, it was like buying a timeshare, they just don't let you out of there.  From the salesman to the sales manager on to the sales manager's boss was a 4 hour ordeal but glad to say we were pleased with the end result.

We drove the new car home with no deposit on a credit card or personal check with only a promise of bringing in a check one day next week to pay for the car in full.

Each dealer we visited seemed to be quite busy.

Congrats!  What did you get?

Another Camry, she loves them

Can't go wrong with a Camry, great cars.

with only a promise of bringing in a check one day next week to pay for the car in full.

thats the best part......

as i am young, poor, and now going back to school (again, have a BA in psyc. already.... and now going back for EMT/para.) i cant fathom that......now with school im gonna be even more broke than ever.

congrats on the car though.

I just bought a new car a few weeks ago as well.

With the economy doing what it's doing, it was nice to be able to get 3 dealers competing for my business as I negotiated from the comfort of my home via e-mail

Great car.  Congrats!

We won't get into the economy, except to say things are picking up and the dealerships are taking advantage, I would too.

I'm not saying I got the best deal in the world, but as long as my wife was happy it was worthwhile. She likes to run them into the ground for 8-10 years, she washed her car maybe 3 times in 8 years to give ya an idea, so it doesn't pay to go shopping for a new jag convertible for her.

I'm the total opposite, I like my cars and I like a new one every 24-36 months, I lease. I leased the new Genesis a few months ago and I have had more prestigious and costly cars but not sure I've had one that is built so well, I really like this car.

All in all we are very happy with our auto acquisitions this year.
