Car Shopping Concluded

Once we got home, I checked the car listings again and found another one.  It was a 2014 with 10K miles on it for just under 16K.  It was the same car we were going to buy with less mileage for less money.  I called to make sure it was still there and we went to see it.  It was at Carson Honda though which was really far away (a little over an hour drive in LA rush hour).  Once we got there and looked at it/test drove it we decided to try to see if we could get it.  We were prepared to deal with more annoying lying salesmen but the deal went surprisingly easy and well.  We told them we had cash and they didn’t really try to push a loan on us.  The first manager told us he couldn’t lower the final price by more than a couple hundred bucks but we told them it we couldn’t do the price they were asking.  He went and got a second manager who gave us an offer at 1K less which was in our budget and even 100 dollars less than we agreed to pay at Galpin so we said yes.  It took forever to get the papers signed because there was only one contracts person there but we got it and drove it home.  Now we have a car.  The one I wanted with better mileage at a better price!  And honestly they were the easiest sales people we’ve dealt with all week.  It went surprisingly smooth.  I’m glad that doing the right thing (walking away from a crooked sale and being patient) really paid off.
