Well LD, I have to admit, that is just a pretty danged fine looking vehicle! Yessir, I guess I'd be looking real good riding around in that!
Like the color too. Very nice!
I was only about 10 days out of surgery when I went to the dealership. I got there with my cane in hand and could barely walk. I went inside and had a deal slapped together so quickly, it almost knocked me off my cane. They held the door open, catered to my every need and didn't try and even counter my haggles. It is amazing how great a deal you can get when your looking like Death's next appointment.
Anyway, I walked out the front door and they had the SUV all lit up, doors opened and all ready for presentation. My jaw hit the floor. I look at this really pretty SUV, check it out and watch them present things like the button you hit for the back seats to automatically just drop down. I was like, "This thing is awesome! How much?". He said, "16,000.". I said, "Wow. I really like it. So, let me check out the RAV4 so I can switch to this one." He laughs and says, "This is the RAV4!". Needless to say, my jaw was on the floor again.
So, I limped my way in the Finance Manager's office. Gave him the really sad look. Complained how I didn't want to go there and how bad my back hurt. After hearing his spiel, I said, "Oh. I thought it was only 12,000?!". Then, I grabbed my back. He said, "Let me talk with the owner for a minute and I will be right back.". He came back about 5 minutes later and said, "Let me draw up the papers.".
I know. I know. I used my pain to take advantage of the poor Finance Manager. But, my crippled Jewish .... just doesn't care.
