Hello, Terrain!
Jason and I have been talking about trading in his GTO for awhile now. A few weeks ago, Jason found standing water in his backseat, again. It had been awhile since it last happened and we had hoped that the leak was fixed for good. Jason brought his car into the local dealer that had fixed the problem in the past. While there, he began talking to one of the sales guys. He test drove a GMC Terrain and really liked it. (We were originally considering an Chevy Equinox, which is essentially the same vehicle with a slightly different body style.) We decided that now was a really good time to unload his car (i.e., while it was still worth something). On, Saturday we went to the dealer so that I could take the Terrain for a drive. We started negotiations, but were unable to reach an agreement and left.
After discussing the situation, we went back Monday night to buy the car (Jason wanted to go back on Saturday, but I didn't feel like making two trips to the dealer in the same day). I was the first one to the dealer and I noticed that the vehicle's spot in the lot was empty and that it was parked up in front, but not where I had parked it after our test drive on Saturday. It turns out that it had sold a few minutes before we got there. Although, they had other Terrains on the lot, none of them had the options Jason wanted. They were able to locate one at another dealer, but before they could get confirmation, the vehicle sold. The same thing happened with a few other vehicles that Jason/our salesman were able to locate. Finally, we found one that was available. We picked it up this morning and are super excited! Jason will be the primary driver, but we will take the Terrain whenever we go places together so I will also get to spend some quality time in it.
On another car related note, I can't believe my car is already 7 years old - it seems just like yesterday . . .
