I am two point five seconds from cancelling my slot in Atlanta. I am four seconds from just rolling over and giving up on it.

Here is my getting screwed at the car dealer story:

Obviously until I get rid of the money pit or pay it off real quick- I am not getting a mustang. That or have a ton of negative equity and get poked again, which I have no problem with if something cool came along. So I am dumping every cent into it for trade in this March. Big deal. Everyone knows that I want to order on my bday and have it for springtime.

I thought I had a car dealer picked out. I seriously despised the salesman there(ugh I just got creepy vibes from him from the first time) but whatever, good price.

Last week my darling husband went to look at an 04 vert and we met a very cool new salesman there. Hubby is at work now, and not a good secretary before. Since its a school holiday, I decided to sleep in today. The very cool salesman called. Hubby did not get message, and he has the cool salesmans card. So I called the snake. He said, yes we have one, people are looking at it, if you can tell me when you will be here, we will take it out and talk. Its got every whistle in the order book btw- and is 26k. So I get the kids dressed, rush through my work, and drive the 22 miles to this dealer.

I get there, and he makes up every BS excuse in the WORLD to keep me out of it. Oh you can't- whatever. Then he says, no we can't drive it today. No one can......as the danged thing pulls out with the sales manager and some stupid teen kid whose parents are looking at it.
That donkey just lost a sale. I am livid.

The idiot salesman knows my story, knows what and when I will be buying, so what is his problem? Why drag me with two kids who hate car lots up there to investigate only to screw me over once I get there?Then hes like- your car will never be accepted as trade at our dealer. (Its in perfect condition, brand new everything, but has 140k miles) I hope he catches a cold. Coulda told me that before!
So with that said, I am just so ticked, that I am almost ready to throw in the towel.

I do believe in Karma,what comes around dang well better go around back to him.

Don't ever wish someone catches crabs! They have a cure for that. You should wish he gets something else after that bonehead move of his. He deserves a lot more than a

The jerk deserves a lynching. There is a special seat in Hades reserved for him.
I have just learned there are TWO car dealers I want to have a going out of business sale- Look on page two. So much for calling when they arrived

Whatever.

I am very sorry I do fell your pain. BELIEVE ME.... I am very stuck in a Chebby s10 that I owe 15000.00 on and you know what the kicker is, because I know you say well heck they stuck it to ya on a new s10. but here it is are you ready,,,, this is a 63 month lease that runs till this coming june 1st. Believe that for pain. I am paying for a brand new 98 mustang gt that I had for 3 months and got a new job so needed 2 vehicles in the family not 1, so I trade and take the neg. equity for the stang. then I get a useless Chebby blazer, now I am here paying for a 98 stang, 96 chebby blazer and a 2000 S10. I want the stang probably as much and or more than you do. Probably not possible as much as you we are probably in the same boat. But on May 1st as soon as I send that last payment to Chebby for my lease I will be taking that Thursday off and picking up my new beauty then I'm off on my first roadtrip that is not limited to milage to Biloxi. I have just a little over 7 months now and I'm counting everyday.

Eleanor, follow your dreams. Don't let some jerk salesman dissaude you from getting the car you want. There are other dealers out there...you just may have to drive a bit further.

I need one of those voodoo priestesses.

You all may want to start a bail fund for me. I am beyond mad. Shaking angry.

no the cloths were dark charcoal too. It was a torch red with black stripe, the cloth on this one took off from it.
No bananas JUST yet, Just knowing I will not be denied it happiness enough today.


Going 100 in a Mustang, that's something. Best adrenalin ever!
