As some of you know, my wife and I were in the market for a new car and had been looking at several options for a decent, late-model used car...
our hearts were set on a lovely little 2004 Corrola S and we headed down to houston from austin with the dealers implicit promise of having the car ready to go/test drive/purchase when we got there...
well we got there all right, but no car... the dealer-ship had sold the car and had not even bothered to inform us of this (we had specific instructions to be informed in this event since we were driving from austin... no car dealer in austin matched the price or warranty for the vehicle)
obviously pissed off, we drove back to austin and gave houston car dealers the royal f-u...
back in austin we proceeded to do the rounds, looking for cars...
at the end of the day we had settled on 2 cars, a 1.8S Nissan Sentra, or a 2.5 Limited edition Nissan Sentra, both 2003, the 2.5 being a little cheaper...
my wife drove both and she liked both, but the dealership where we returned to test the 2.5 (the 1.8s was across town) also happened to have, on our 2nd visit during the day, a lovel Nissan Altima 3.5 SE :drooling:
I knew my wife had a soft spot for the car we've both been trying to work in a car within our budget while still saving for further education and for a house... was not working out but they had $17k odd altima and we talked and talked to the dealer and walked off with the baby, fully loaded, black leather interior, all options and more for approx $15k including TT & L
no pics of the baby yet but its the same color and trim as the following pic I found online... including the moonroof...
