NEW CAR!!!


I did it I purchased my first car yesterday!!  It is a 2006 BMW 325i! It is so beautiful, haha. I am actually at a loss for words. I want to thank Erik for coming with me and being such a wonderful backbone while I was choosing the car and negotiating.  I also want to thank my mommy, thanks to her we got an extra $500 off the price of the car.  Because the two of them I felt confident and very supported when I was talking to the dealer.  

The funniest part is that if you look at the previous post the picture of the car in that and the one I actually got are identical.  The weirdest part is that we got my car from the BMW dealer 
and the one in the picture before was from a search I did online. Weirrd.



A bit about the car: It has a premium package which includes the leather seats and automatic seats, memory seats and all that good stuff, it also has a cold weather package which includes the heated seats and a built in ski bag (I know I don't ski but I figure Kelly would find this super sweet), and it has a sports package which includes nicer rim, sport suspension, bucket seats.  It comes bluetooth ready so I can press a button when I get a call and it will answer the call and broadcast it over my car's speakers. What else..hm...OH YA and it has AC AND A MOONROOF, hehe.


I love it! I will put some more pictures of my car up on our online photo album for your viewing pleasure.
YAY

New Car for Dorsa


Ok here's the thing..(Erik says I say that every time I'm about to have a serious conversation)

...I've had my car since 2001 and lately I have had a few problems with it.  The AC has been completely replaced and still will not work.  Then just the other day I was driving it and it started to smell like sulfur (aka the battery was leaking) I had to get a new battery.  I know what you are thinking "that's nothing", well ask Erik and ask me when we are driving home in rush hour traffic in 92 degree weather with no AC. Not fun! 

So this weekend we went to carmax and test drove the G35 and BMW 325i.  I sat in the Mercedes Benz C-class and Acura TL and did not like the way they felt.  I liked the way both the G35 and the 325i drove but decided that I want to get a BMW.  Now I can't decide if I want to get it before we come to Chicago or wait until we get back.  I am leaning more towards the waiting until we get back because nobody likes to go back to work after a fun vacation and we will need something to keep our excitement up.
We have been looking on Autotrader.com and here is one of the ones we like tell me what you think!!




Long story short I'm getting a new car!! YIPPIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
