As it turns out, it wasn't true. Kia dealership wrote us and apologized, but they accidentally quoted us for the base model manual transmission model, as opposed to the automatic model we were told. The best they could do for the automatic is $253 a month. $80 more than the other offer. So, back to the drawing board. Seemed too good to be true, and the dealer was obviously distracted by something or other. I don't believe he did this on purpose, because we were at the step of getting the contract to sign and now everything is back to square one. I definitely am hooked on the idea of having a new car, and I like the Soul, but we are going to have to play some poker here. We called 2 other dealerships yesterday, and it seems that we might be able to play them all against one another to get the best deal. We could of course drive my Volkswagen and just hold on to that. Crazy. What a long drive that would be. I don't believe it is in our best interest. Isn't that how you know that you are aging?
I have decided that I need to talk to our mechanic, Joe. He will tell us what to do. He will know. Wednesday morning I will bring the car up to him. He will know whether to sell it or not, how much it is worth, and whether it would make it to Phoenix or not.
2431 miles, in case you were wondering:
Oh, and Happy Memorial Day!
