That’s right, I did it! I bought a new car!! Oh my goodness, was it an experience. This was my first time to ever buy a car, without parents, just Dan and me making all the decisions-it was a bit terrifying.
It all started Friday when I decided to test drive the Traverse again. I was feeling a bit apprehensive about it simply because I did not like the back or the way it handled. If you’ve seen the Traverse, you know it slants a lot and the back is really small and slanted, making it very hard to see out the back. After leaving the Chevrolet dealership, which we did not like, we headed over to CarMax just to check out some used SUVs. I looked at several and test drove a couple, but still didn’t feel 100% about it. The ones at CarMax were pretty comparable to the one I currently had, so I thought, we would I get a new one then? I knew I wanted a third backseat and “bucket seats” in my future car. I am thinking future and long term (for when we have babies). Went to bed that night thinking about everything, not feeling great about any of the ones I had looked at. Then, I told Daniel that we should check out the GMC Acadia tomorrow morning. Two teachers just got one at my school, Annalee just got one and said it was great, they’ve been around longer, and from what I understand GMC is a step up from Chevrolet.
So, Saturday morning, Daniel and I got up and headed to Beck and Masten (great experience) to check out the Acadia. We got there, met our very nice and helpful dealer, he got a copy of my license, handed me the keys and said “see ya later”, and I was off! I came back in love. It was just what I was looking for, and it did drive differently than the Traverse, and it does look nicer, and I just really liked it better. So, we went inside to see what kind of deal we could get. You know the process……after 5 hours (I kid you not), we had purchased our first car! Wooo, I got to tell you, it was stressful thinking about everything and signing papers and answering questions. I was ready for a nap. We did get a great deal with great financing and that’s why we did it now. My dad at Chevrolet offered me the same price, basically, but with a higher interest rate. So, it worked out for the best!
After thinking, praying, choosing, and deciding….meet my new, beautiful, red Acadia!
