Taylor and i went to about 8 different car dealerships and each played out about the same:flashy sales guy- great shoes: "how can i help you today?"
modest me and boy observer: "well- i have a boy here who needs a car and we have 5k to spend. whatcha got?"
flashy sales guy- great shoes: "ummm....i'm not sure- let's look into it"
gullible me and hopeful boy: " 200,000 miles but they changed the oil every 3k miles you say?!?"
james via tele: "no deal"
on, and on... until......
the beautiful blue saturn (with only 100,000 miles)
saturn sales guy who gave quiznos his only business card to the free lunch drawing, thus has none when he reaches for it: "and this car came in from being owned by one driver- an older lady living in Krum"
incredulous, wisened me and tired, hungry boy: " are you kidding? the old lady line?"
cardless saturn sales guy: "i know it sounds funny- but here- i'll run the car fax free of charge for you."
eyebrows up, glancing at boy, me: "alrighty then!"
two hours later we had secured applebees lunches (25.00), one saturn (5k), james' approval (rare), and a huge silly grin on the teen boy's face! (priceless)
