Car Shopping for under $11,000

Last weekend Joanne and i went to a car dealer to check out some car deals being offered. Her car, a 97' Honda Accord is dieing a slow death so rather putting in buckets of money to fix it up Joanne and the kids have been bugging me to buy a new car. So we looked and saw some good deals with used 2007 and 2008 GM G5's and Cobalt's. She like the cobalt best in charcoal gray but it had to have all the bells and whistles, not the standard cobalt. we found a couple Lt's with the bells and whistles she was looking for and ooo'd and aaa'd over it, figuring out if we can afford to buy it. We then left the dealer to think on it.

Today after being hounded daily about the car she wanted, I went to the car dealer, looked for a honest looking used car salesman, ; ) When I found one, I showed him the used car I wanted, a charcoal gray 2008 Cobalt LT which only has 37,000km on it. Then I told him to work up the papers so we can buy the car.

I called Joanne from the dealer to tell her, OK we will get the car you wanted, but you have to come down after work today to make the deal on the car. She was happy. I then went to work.

Joanne went down after her work to meet up with the sales man who had all the paper work ready and car waiting for her out front for her to test drive. Then after she got the financial approval cleared, she signed all the papers for a dun deal! which includes trading in her Honda and will pick up the new used 2008 Cobalt LT tomorrow after work. ..... I think she is happy! : )
