Nice forum everyone. I'm 45 years young, very active. I scuba dive and jog and golf, etc... Happliy married for 22 years. (VERY happily married now that I bought my wife a new used car. We got the used car buyers dream last weekend.
A couple 80 yrs old bought this car in 2001 for 29 grand. drove it to church and the market, etc.. put 21 thousand miles on it.. Garaged it. Babied it... We talked to some good friends of theirs that told us this after we bought it.... They had to go into a retirement home so they sold the car back to the dealer. (Did ALL the service checks etc. We have all the papers proving it.)
My wife says to me sunday. "Lets go look at cars just for fun at Willamette auto, (Where our Son works) "I promise I wont wanna buy any." (I was dumb enough to believe her!) We didnt know about this car at the time... We went, drove a few cars, saw 2 Buick lesabres side by side.. A 2001 with 59k miles on it. Another 2001 with 21k on it... Both cars had a price of 9995 on them. we wondered why it was the same price since the blue one was also a 'custom' model and WAY better overall shape. So we drove it.
I tell you. what a dream driver. So velvet power, smooth, comfortable. The car pampers you... etc. I could go on and on. No wonder old geezers buy these things. (No offense meant to present company of course!) Its an awesome car! 20 mpg city, 30 highway. My wife loved it! And she has been driving an 82 chevy sprint. For 20 years I've been the guy who buys a 3 thousand dollar car then drives it until the wheels fall off...
We bought it. with a trade in, an old 81 Suburban. 9100 bucks. We havent had car payments in 22 yrs. since the lamo subura wagon we bought in mcminnville. ) When we went in to buy and the guy pulls out the extended warranty.. I usually automatically say no on those but listened anyway. GM, 4 yrs or 48 thousand miles.. bumper to bumper, everything! 2600 bucks.. up our monthly price 30 bucks... I was going to go for it anyway as a insurance measure then I said.. "So you must know our Son Kyle? he works here.." The guy lit up.. "Yes I know Kyle!" so he ripped up old contract, redid the math and says. "You get the employee discount as family. 1500 for the bumper to bumper 4 year warranty!"
So... Bottom line...
We got an awesome car. in all respects brand new. that bulletproof v6 motor that idles down the freeway at 65 mph doing 1800 rpm cuz its got such amazing torque, (Whatever torque is... its some cool engine dealie that puts out tons of low end power) I doubt those old folks that owned it ever even got on the freeway.
So.... A 29 thousand dollar luxury car, with a 4 year warranty, for 10,600 bucks. (Payment of 195 a month)
COOOOO COO COOOOOOOOO!!!!!
My wife will never let me buy any car but a luxury car from here on out.
The more I drive it the more I like it. Well.. I gotta go wash it now. Stupid neighborhood cats are walking on it at night!!!! Edited by: Roy White
