Car Shopping In This Economy
Posted on 12. Sep, 2009 by Brad in Economy | Twitter: @bradhart |
I really can’t believe I went car shopping today, not with everything else going on in my financial life. On the other hand it is sort of a must with the baby due in another seventeen days. I know what I want and what i can afford, which isn’t much, but that didn’t stop me from getting pushed into a new Honda Element. I know I can’t afford it, but I wonder if they would let me borrow one when it comes time to take the baby to the doctors and stuff. The truck with its next to nothing heat and room for three people maximum just won’t cut it for long this winter. I went looking for the ninety two Chevy Cavalier but couldn’t help getting in the Honda Element as they pushed and prodded.
I said no thank you before the drive, then again after the drive, and then again when they tried to get me to fill out a credit app. No! No! No! What I wanted to say though was Yes! Yes! Yes!. Not since I had my Aztek have I looked at a car that had styling personality. Too many models look the same and if it wasn’t for a name slapped on the back of them I wouldn’t be able to tell you who made what. That is not the case the Element ,that squared back end is unique. I came home and googled Honda Element reviews and fell more in love with it. I want one! I want one bad! Maybe not as bad as I want a new Porsche, but considering the bump at the end of my driveway and I will have to share it with my wife and take both the kids places, I am sure I will be a lot happier for the Element.
With the economy going south, are new car plans in your budget?

A new car is not in my budget for this year but in these difficult times, i’m sure if you negotiate hard you’ll grab a bargin. Always ask for a full tank.

With my budget I can barely afford to fix up my old cars. A friend of mine who is a producer at a music label however buys cars on the regular. He was asked how many cars he had by my another friend of mine and he said “Only five”, the only reason he doesn’t have any more is because of the recession. I found that hilarious.

actually I am going with a new plan. I am finally using my affiliate networks the way I need to. Check out how PepperJam is buying me a new car.
