Really gross. I’m sticking to the disposable cups from now on.

My New Car

I’m so excited! Last night Dave and I bought our first new car together at Gardena Nissan. It’s a 2008 Nissan Altima 2.5 S. The photo below has my exact color, Majestic Blue (yes, I went from a blue Altima to another blue Altima):

Why Gardena Nissan when it’s 25 miles from where we live? Because they gave it to us at $1340 under invoice with 1.9% financing over 36 months. My OCD at an extreme, I read and followed every word of CarBuyingTips and Fighting Chance. I gave up playing Zelda on my commute for a solid week so that I could read through all 7 chapters of CarBuyingTips which I printed out and brought with me. It was worth it.

Later I might blog about the whole negotiating and haggling process, and my interesting and sometimes nasty interactions with some dealers. For now, I (and Dave, probably more so) am just happy we got a great deal and that this is all over!
