We bought from good friends who took really good care of the car.....however, I like the idea that your husband got the new car......hmmmmm....I should have worked that angle!<br /><br />Love your animal photos and shopping photos. Would you mind telling me the source of the rope chest with the crabs on it? It is right up my alley and I think is calling my name! You could email the name of the shop if you don't mind to annw1953@gmail.com<br />Thank you so much!Hill Country House Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15669069876394459689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8087985679708902082.post-1856512368240069592011-06-09T09:18:16.095-04:002011-06-09T09:18:16.095-04:00The last two cars we bought were for our kids and ...The last two cars we bought were for our kids and we got them off autotrader....drove to Jacksonville FL to get one and Charlotte to get the other (we live in ATL). We've only bought one car at a dealership in the last 20 years (at our locally owned Toyota dealership) but we have always had great luck with FSBO cars or autobrokers. DOTR is a salesman, so he's a hard sell. He says he always feels like he needs to take a shower after he goes to a car dealership!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03575824415627306078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8087985679708902082.post-1009686914468080492011-06-09T09:13:30.655-04:002011-06-09T09:13:30.655-04:00We have bought our last three cars from the same d...We have bought our last three cars from the same dealer (Keeler Mercedes in Latham, NY), and the same sales person (Lynn Larson) sold us the last two of them. She's a great gal, with a great sense of humor, and she is a straight shooter, and honest. Like you, I've had my share of less than pleasant car dealership experiences. Never again, and with the Keeler/Lynn Larson combo we use, we needn't!

Ahh, we almost went to Williamsburg this week, I miss going there now that our daughter is done with college!

We bought one for our daughter in Feb. and the experience was not the best. When you have a dealership that does not pull any punches it's worth hugging the salesperson! Great post Rebecca and hope your weekend is a great one.<br />: ) DebDumbwit Tellherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18148671166061931241noreply@blogger.com
