she is decidedly a girl, and considerably smaller in size than ernie, so i was thinking i could name her minnie driver?

is she purchased?

Being the only male representative in this discussion, I took it upon myself to look into price a little.

According to Kelly Blue Book (kbb.com) average retail price for this vehicle is about $700 less than what they are asking - and that take into account "excellent" condition. NADA.com (national automobile dealers assoc) puts it about $1300 less than asking price.

In reality I know that price isn't that big of a factor for you B...'cause you love little Minnie, there....but I'm a guy...I can't help myself.

Looks like a car I could see you driving...for the next 20 years or so (J/K)...just get them down on price a little...and you'll get a good deal.

i think you should go with her *wink*

okay.

i just got the loan approved, plus i will pay for some of her myself.

i think i might trade ernie in, i really don't have a reason to have 2 cars, so of course the "dealing" will be ugly.

i hate that part.

ps, thanks for the nod, anne :)

Anne said...

ha! i meant... i think *sdguy* should go with you :) not that you can't take care of it yourself

Karen said...

You can do it! I think that you can always get more $$ selling a car yourself rather than trading it in...you would also avoid the dealing. Just a thought. She is SO CUTE, and Minnie fits perfectly.

I'd go with ya B!

Beating up these guys is my specialty! ;-)

bobbione8y said...

dave, give me a couple of days of dealing with this, and then come with me, okay?

seriously...lunch on thursday or friday?

SDGuy91 said...

I'm booked Thursday - but Friday should work. Let me know...

Good for you! I know I have been absent for much of your postings, but you picked this car over an SUV, or were you trying to steer clear of SUV's. I may be getting you and DeAnn mixed up. Regardless, I love the car & the name! It's very cute, and very you.

k. i will call you later in the week if it goes on that long.

sales guy was new.

after 17 years as a diesel mechanic. he knew what he was doing less than i did. but he seemed nice.

do they all seem nice?

this is hard.

K~ said...

did you get her? K~

KristieLou said...

Oh you have to get her. And I bet Mac would like her for the long trips. He's so good with directions :)

SDGuy91 said...

yes - they all "seem" nice. Well put...

i know it's hard for you...it's easy for me, tho :-)

bobbione8y said...

okay, update for everybody. i test drove minnie today and although she is little, she is sporty, handles well, and is ORANGE.

:)

but now i am not sure what to do. it appears they want to sell it for the sticker price. that is where "help" comes into play ;)

will let you know!
