New Wheels
Get Smart: Fuel-Efficient, Capable, and Fun to Drive
We chose a car.
This one....a Subaru Forester.
After test driving 6 vehicles and being subjected to so much sales talk, we went back to the first dealership and settled for this one.
I have to admit it is a very nice ride and has an amazing safety record. It also has rave reviews.
The guy who sold it to us was very nice and very genuine. He didn't even try any hard sell nonsense.
He just let us drive it and make up our own minds.
Well, it was more Philip's mind really as I keep quiet most of the time as he has the long journey to do in it every day.
I did speak up once though when the seat of one of the cars we tested really hurt my back. I felt bad for saying something but he said I was right to speak up as he car pools with a friend to and from work every day and this friend has a really bad back. He would never have been able to sit in that seat for that long journey.
We pick the car up tomorrow.
We test drove a car from the same Toyota dealership as we got our current broken car from.
After telling us what great customers we had been (we have had every service done and always at the dealership) they then wouldn't offer us anything on it.
They have already charged us $850 for trying to find out what is wrong with it. Charged Philip $350 for a new battery that he now can't use and they won't take it back.
He has since told the sales manager at Toyota how disappointed we are with that dealership and we shall not be using them again.
I bet they are heartbroken............yeah right.
I did have a giggle in dealership where we bought this new car though. Our salesman had told us a couple of times that they have an English guy working there.
Whilst we were finalising the paperwork he called this guy over to introduce us.
Oh my goodness.
This is what he looked like............exactly..........
This guy even had the camel coat. I couldn't believe it. If ever anyone said....'show a picture of a car salesman' this is what you would get.
He came over and said hello etc....but I was quite put out that the only one who looked like this, out of all the salesmen, was English.
On another note.
This was our weather this time last week.
For the last two days it has been very warm, sunny and around 22C.
Amazing.
Hopefully, this means Winter is out of the way and we are heading for Summer. I think we have probably skipped Spring altogether.
I would love to see some buds on the trees and some flowers too now.
It seems one of our squirrels "Ginger Eric", so named for his reddish ginger coloured fur, has been busy.
He has certainly been productive even without a proper Spring.
