Sometimes even independent, persnickety people simply need to let others help them. I am one...You know I have traveled this planet alone for quite awhile...and feel fairly competent to handle almost anything...I say almost because it is almost anything that I can do...however...when it comes to purchasing a car...well..that is something I simply don't do well. Especially when I have to. So...in walks my new friend Justin, and he is going to help me...for a price of course...haha.
So here is the question. How can a person who navigates most things in life fairly well, have this car problem. El Cid is a good negotiator. But not me...so although she has handed down many a fine characteristic...this is not one. What is up with that?
I think it is because I have no desire to really own the thing. I love to drive...I love the ease and comfort of having a vehicle...I was born in Detroit, Michigan...which should make it genetic...but...somehow, the whole thing makes me a little squeamish.
So, I actually asked Justin for help. Me...yes mom...I said I asked for help. I don't know why...but that one is difficult. I think it is...because, I think I must do everything for myself. However, admitting to our shortcomings...is after all a wise thing..so, never too old to try something new...
Justin and his lovely lady Adriana will help me look at a car tomorrow. Now...that may not mean I will get one...but I need to do this quickly. Time is now critical.
So...here is what I did. I looked up purchasing tips. Yes of course I did...and boy was it an education. They should require this in School.
NOW...ABOUT THE PRICE I AM PAYING FOR ASSISTANCE...lunch ON ME..maybe I am a better negotiator than I thought!!!
