Yesterday afternoon the lovely [livejournal.com profile] 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, [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] kosmickitten is going to pick [livejournal.com profile] 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.

Credit Union is your friend.

I got 13,000 at 60 months.

With 4.9% interest.

4.9%. They should be able to hook you up. I would call them as soon as you get the info.

WooT!

Sounds much more exciting than newish wine in old bottles...

eh, what difference does it make what make/model it is? It's got wheels and it moves around. If she likes it, it's good.

Good luck on the credit union loan, sounds like a good move. Knocking a year's payment off for the cost of a pizza a month

Sounds like a well-researched buying decision.
