When my wife started her driving career, she drove a small Chevy Cavalier. She could not have a vehicle like that anymore. It would be too small. Since we started adopting, the sizes of our vehicles have increased. Before this last adoption, Angie was driving a Dodge Journey. This vehicle was okay. It was too small for our needs. The kids were cramped in the back. They tended to fight about the close quarters.
Angie started looking at new vehicles. She started with a Ford Transit. Our neighbor has one and it looked roomy. So she drove over to the dealership. She found the vehicle she wanted. She did her research. On the lucky day, she went over to deal with them. I probably should have warned them that she gets practice by bargaining in China. They did not want to deal. They were going to give us a low ball offer on her trade-in. They did not want to come down much on the price of the vehicle.
The next day, she goes over to Nissan. She finds another vehicle. It seats 12 people. The chairs can come out for more storage space. She goes in to deal. This time, it is the end of the month. They have not met their sales quota. She already had financing in place with our bank. They go back and forth. She manages to have them cover her vehicle and come down on the price of the new one. It is a nice vehicle. I just hope she does not think she needs to fill every seat with children.
It's funny. We have had the vehicle for a couple of months and people are still stopping my wife and asking her about it. I told her she should talk to the dealer about getting a commercial wrap to put on the vehicle. Also, she should get business cards and reading material she can give people. Maybe they can help pay for it.
