Can I have some "Jana needs a new car" vibe.

So, Saturday AGAIN was a bust. 

Went to a place in Framingham..  you know..  when a deal seems to good to be true.  It so is.

So we came back to East Providence to look at the Sentra I test drove last Sat.  I still wasn't head over heels about it.  While we were waiting for our car guy to be free I sat in the Versa sedan that was in the showroom (mainly because I was bored).  Originally I had wanted a hatchback Versa last Sat but they sold the used one they had.  So anywho.  I LOVED it.  Backseat?  Roomier than it looks.  My brother is 6'2" and was amazed at how much room he had.  The guy came over and I asked if I could take one for a spin since I knew they had a used one.  I didn't love the color combo but the price was right.  We took it for a test drive and I was on the fence.  It didn't have some extras I was hoping for but then my brother said if I went with it he would match my down payment.  (He was getting very cranky for being out in public all day)  I will learn to LOVE it. :)

This is my potential new car.  We put the downpayment, but then since it was later the finance guy wasn't loving the interest rates he was getting so he wants to wait to speak to a person tomorrow.  PLEASE, just think some car vibes for yours truly that this all goes smoothly and everything will fall into place tomorrow.  Once that's done.. it's full speed ahead on the new place.  Who wants to pick out the carpets and the kitchen floor?  My head spun enough with the paints.  :)

 I'm so anxious it's gross.

  • fingers crossed for you!  Have they looked into you maybe getting the car with the higher interest and then going to a bank or AAA for an auto loan?  See if there is a clause with the current finace to see if there is a penalty for early payment.  I know when my husband bought his jeep, he needed to finance through Chrysler to get the deal on the jeep and then make one payment.  After that first payment we went to a local Credit Union and got a much better interest and dropped the payment about $200
  • good luck!!

    no penalties for early payment.  I remembered to ask since I'd like to pay any extra whenever I had it.

    The guy actually is calling Greenwood CU tomorrow, my brother is cosigning so he wasn't understanding why the rates were so high (my brother had his credit report pulled up on his phone) .. he knew if he talked to someone rather than an automated thing he'd get some real answers.  They were all super nice so I'm hoping that's a good sign.  No sleazy feelings. 

    If it doesn't work out with them, maybe I'll ask my brother about going the AAA or CU route.

  • Good luck. If this does not work out I do have a friend ay Scott Volkswagen that can probably help you out, just let me know.
  • Good Vibes your way girlie! 
  • Lots & Lots of New Car Vibes coming your way!!!
  • good luck Jana
