Hello everyone!
So for a class I am taking I am to create a blog and use it. Well I struggled on finding a topic for my blog, I couldn't just settle on one thing! So I came to the conclusion I will just blog about learning new things. So for my blog I will be picking something new to learn about or learn to do and do it then I will let you all know how it goes! :) kinda fun and I hope you all become inspired to do the same! I got the idea from an old movie I watched recently called "You Can't Take It With You" (great movie) but the principle is to just do what makes you happy in life and the rest will work itself out so that is my plan just going to do the things that I have always wanted to do!
Hope you enjoy this as much as I am going to!

Well I finished my car purchasing. I bought a Nissan Xterra 2000 this week for $4900. It is exactly what I was looking for, it covered the whole check list. I even caught a problem that the David Neilson extensive inspection missed. It all happened when I took it for a final test drive. The door ajar light was on and I was wondering why so I went around opening and closing all the doors only to find that the passenger door had a clunk in it. So decided to bring it up with the dealership. After we took a look inside and decided that it wasn't fixable right then and needed to go to a mechanic. Well 2 weeks later and $400 the problem was fixed and I had my new car. In total I saved $800. Half from the repairs (the dealership paid for that) and half from doing a taxable tow away. This is when you decide to take care the the registration and licensing, that way the dealership doesn't have to charge your for it and you don't have to worry about docking fees. Over all I learned a lot about buying a car, how to inspect it, finding the best price, financing, and everything else that goes with it. I just hope I don't have to go car shopping for a long time... ha ha. I hope you all learned something along the way with me.

  1. I just got a car recently also. Looking for a good quality used car was hard because it felt like no one wants to take good care of there car when they own it. Listening to the engine sound in the 2000 cars I was looking at made me feel I needed a Toyota. Best decision ever!!! The first three people I called to test drive and inspect the car were super polite and there were minimal damage on the outside display. The engine sounded excellent too. After buying the car, I took it to some Inspection Dealership and they said that I got a bargain for the $4000 car. They said the previous owner took especially good care of the inside engine. I love my car!
