Closing on the deal - woot
Hoooomama. Wife unit reluctantly approved and Ive narrrowed my hunt down to two cars. One is the rare silver sapphire with 17k miles going in the upper teens and the other is grey with 6k miles in the very low 20's. The holdup at this point is just picking the car. The grey car is one owner & garage kept. Not much information on the silver one since it's dealer owned. I would just capture savings on the bottomline, but travel some 4 hours roundtrip to get it.
The silver looks pretty solid - makes the lines and body stand stronger and the appearance of the car to look more metal. The grey looks just as sharp but the chrome stands out stronger with it. uuggg. Pathetic I know
Im kinda leaning on the grey one since it has lower mileage, 1 owner, and the difference in payment is so minimal. The silver one just gives me some leverage to haggle and it does have that excellent shine to it.

This is never a good way to start a purchase.

Re: Closing on the deal - woot
Nine words women use...
1.) Fine : This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.
2.) Five Minutes : If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.
3.) Nothing : This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.
4.) Go Ahead : This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!
5.) Loud Sigh : This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing
with you about nothing. (Refer back to #3 for the meaning of nothing.)
6.) That's Okay : This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.
7.) Thanks : A woman is thanking you, do not question, or Faint. Just say you're welcome.
8.) Whatever : Is a women's way of saying F@!K YOU!
9.) Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's
wrong?' For the woman's response refer to #3.
