Re: What Next?
Had to chuckle when I saw this. About two years ago I decided to trade up my PT Cruiser LTD to a GT Cruiser, the turbo model of the PT. I looked high and lo and finally found one I liked and the deal was right. The car was incredible. There was one small problem. They had just got the first Crossfire in and it was sitting in the showroom. It was marked $37,000 (US) and they weren't budging on the price. I fell in love with the car that Saturday morning but no way I could ever afford it.
I'm usually up on cars and for some reason I never knew about this car. I think I spent a good 15 minutes sitting in it, going over it and in general doing everything you shouldn't do in front of a car salesman. I WANTED ONE!
So I drive home in my shiny new GT. Fast car, nice looking but the Crossfire always stuck in the back of my mind. How do I get one? Well last year, after two years in the GT I got the same burning question, What Next? That part was easy, the hard part was finding a way to get one at my price. I was seeing more and more PT's on the road and it was getting to the point where I no longer felt I had something special. I started calling around last October. I saw ads for Crossfire's for 27k but when you got to the dealer they feigned ignorance and tried to say they only had the base models left and the payment were still way out of my range. This went on for a month last fall. All I can say is thank God for employee pricing. So now I'm in my dream car, there are few on the street around here so its a great feeling, kinda like the PT when it was new but a much cooler car. I'm the kind of person who likes something unique, once everybody gets one then I'm usually over it and on to the next thing. Not a good habit but that's me. This car feels different for some reason. This one just might be a keeper and right now, thankfully, I'm not even thinking about, what's next but good luck to you because I know where you are coming from.
