My wife has committed car
Nov. 28th, 2006 07:17 amYesterday afternoon the lovely iraunink made a deposit on a car. By the time I got home, she had heard from the dealership that our financing was approved and we could pick it up at 1PM today.
I have been having great fun watching her tell people about this - the first question everyone asks is "What kind is it?" Her response is "It's a silver two-door with black interior and power everything." "But what kind is it?" "I forgot." This is just so my wife! She'd been to three dealers before she got to the Lupient at Penn & 494, she'd been making notes of cars to go back and look at, and then she found this one. And decided 'this is it'. As she was driving away from the dealership, she realized she hadn't the faintest idea what the make and model was any more.
She's going to pick me up from work at lunch time (thanks,bernesemntdog!), we'll go sign for it, I'll take it away to work and she'll go home. The latest theory I've heard is that kosmickitten is going to pick bernesemntdog up after work, and bring him over to get his car. And then we will once again be a one-car family with functioning car.
I'll get pictures (and make and model!) up ASAP - maybe as early as this afternoon.
The financing is $6000 for 60 months - we're going to run down to the credit union with car papers later this week and see if they'll finance it. If the numbers on their site are still good, we should be able to pay it off in 48 months for about $20/month higher payment.

The new car
Nov. 28th, 2006 04:01 pmIt's a 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix 2-door, silver, black cloth interior, with practically power everything. Remote lock/unlock/flash lights/open truck. Power side-view mirror adjust. Power windows. Power locks. Separate driver & passenger heating/cooling controls. Cruise control. Delay wiper. Auto-dimming interior rear-view mirror with compass & external temperature. AM/FM/CD Player. Controls for the AM/FM/CD on the steering wheel. Estimated remaining range, gallons of gas consumed, two other things I've forgotten. Power seat up/down, tilt, and forward/back.
I'm impressed - the only things I can think of that it's missing are heated seats, saved personalized power seat settings, and remote start.
