Last fall I made an offer to my parents to buy the car I am driving, a 1994 Corolla. I love my little car, it is old, it has its quirks, it shakes and makes funny noises. They turned me down. Boo. So, I set out to save my money and buy a car.
I found out about a car through a girl at work. I got information, found out the car was just the price I was willing to spend. Told the owner I would pay in cash, to hold it for me to look at this weekend. I looked at the car this morning and brought over a mechanically minded guy friend. He checked it out and said it was good except for the need for new tires. I am almost the owner of a 2000 Camry. I have never owned a car in the 2000's. I drove a 1987 Chevy Astro for 2 years in high school, a 1991 station wagon for a year, a 1992 Corolla another year, and a 1994 Corolla for the past 5 years. These were all family cars that were shuffled around from one kid to another. So, 2000, altho 9 years old, is entirely new for me!!
One big reason the owners held the car for me was I was willing to pay cash. Thanks, Dave Ramsey!! I look forward to getting the car and driving it. My first car!
