Stupid Car

[orriskitten]

So our plan has been to trade in our car. We owe about $6k on it but it is tiny and we would like to have a larger car in case I get ku. So we wanted to trade in and lease a car until we move to Iceland in 17 months.

Went in to a dealership today and they told us since there was an accident on the Carfax (we were aware, it was a previous owner) they told us there was negative equity and we'll never get anything in our price range per month.

Fucking fucks.

The sales guy was also pissing me off. He clearly hated his job. Mofo, you get a percentage of the money if I buy from you. Pretend to be happy! We don't smell, we're polite, nice people. Get a new job!

Oh and PS, the sales guy admitted he doesn't drive. Wtaf??

What kind of car are you trading? I fricking hate car salesmen and DH used to be one.

Ugh, that's annoying. Maybe you'll have better luck with a different dealership?

That is what we are hoping for.we knew it would probably take some shopping around.

Would you consider privately selling it? You may get more money that way.

We originally didn't want to do that, but it looks like it may be one of our better options. Luckily there is a large private market here and the car is in great shape. I just know next to nothing about cars and since DH is at work till 7, it would probably be me doing most of the selling. And figuring out how to deal with the financing company to switch the name and such.

I will ask my dh tonight and send you a pm tonight or tomorrow. Things may be a bit different but I don't think by a lot.
