Drive-by dating
My mom came down today and she watched Kieran during a nap while we went for a little test drive on this beautiful non-rainy day. I've gotten her hooked on freezer cooking recipes so today's lunch of some ground beef cooked with my Texas salsa (Joe T's) and spices on freshly cooked tortillas (I'm not sure we can ever go back to stuff from the grocery store) with black beans & rice and lemon cheesecake for dessert was heavenly plus immediately split between us to freeze for later meals. Yay!
My husband & I confirmed that we both really like the new second car we're thinking of getting. I won the color standoff when my husband realized the one he liked on the computer is way too dark in person.
What was hilarious are the options that our sales guy, his manager, and some other sales guy tried to convince us of: for models 'in our area', you can either have power windows & doors but no ABS, or ABS and power doors but no power windows. Who in their right mind would want to deal with regular windows while willing to spend the $ for ABS?!
Enter immediate model upsell 'but look, this has all that...' attempt. Haha, no way, we easily & happily walked away once they realized they couldn't sway us. We submitted a request through the Costco auto buyer's program & found out their contact is not at the same dealership. I'm dying to see what the sales tactic contrast is.
