I HATE CAR SHOPPING!!!! But I did it!!!

YEAH!!! I sold my car for $5,600 I am stoked!!!! I have been searching for a car forever so I thought that when I finally sold my car it would be easy but IT WAS NOT EASY!! I have been so stressed since I found out that they were going to buy my car! I went to every car dealership in Logan!!! I originally thought I was going to buy a Toyota Sequoya or a Honda pilot but when I test drove the Sequoya I almost backed it into something it was WAY too long, the back window got stuck and the light fell out of the door! it was a sign! then I just couldn't get over how little the third row seat is in the Honda pilot! so then I was at Nate and Andy's and test drove their GMC envoy and I really liked it! It had leather seats sun roof and lots of other nice amenities and the back seat was really roomy! I talked to the owner and he said that he would sell it to me for $16,000 which was more then I was hoping to spend!!!! Then in the morning I went to take it back it wouldn't start it was a for sure sign!!!! then I found another GMC envoy at Axtels it was really nice it was only $12,999 which was a lot better deal! Then We went a couple other places and didn't really like anything. We then went to the ford store in Logan and they had another GMC envoy and it needed a new bumper, side mirror and a few other things! They were asking $12,950 it had a lot less miles then the one at Axtels but that is a lot of body work to take care of! The sales guy was also really weird! then we went to J M motors and they has a Buick Rendezvous (YES JESSICA A BUICK!!!!) ha ha ha I really liked it! It had really good gas mileage a sun roof navigation system leather and was all together just really nice the down side to it you either had a third row with no cargo room or cargo room that only fits three people in the back so that didn't work then at the last minute we went to Preston we almost didn't go because we thought they would be closed but we went anyways we got there and they were still open we test drove another GMC envoy and I immediately loved it! It had a sun roof no dents or scratches and it was white one of my favorite colors!!!! it had a little more miles then all of them but the price was amazing they were asking $10,890 we ended up leaving the dealership with a new vehicle and an awesome deal of just $10,900 with taxes and registration and everything! YEAH!!!!! I am so excited it is finally over all I have to do it finish up all of the loans with both vehicles!!! oh just as a side note of how slimy the first dealership I went to was! my manager went to the dealership and looked at the envoy there (the same one that wouldn't start for me) and they told her it was only $14,000!!!! THEY TOLD ME IT WAS $16,000 HORRIBLE I was mad when I heard that!!!!!! I never want to go through this again for a LONG LONG TIME!!!!!!

Yeah!!! Congratulations. I almost thought you were gonna say you bought the buick!! But, all well. Maybe next time :) Jk. Sounds like you got the best deal around. Sales people are shady. I would've made Josh do the shopping, but I guess he might've got you something you didn't like.
