Collected Edition Blog browsing on a late Friday night
Patty and I went out Thursday and bought a new car: a Pontiac Vibe. We got a really good deal, although the service wasn’t all that spectacular: it took forever to actually purchase it and even when we thought we were ready to go, the dealer wanted to finalize a few things overnight, so we had to wait until today. So when we got there late this afternoon we expected to simply drive off with it. But not so fast. It seems there was a scratch that appeared by magic overnight that they wanted to take care of. Also, the car did not have an antenna and it only came with ¾ of a tank of gas. I have never, ever driven a new car off a lot without a full tank. Unbelievable. We are writing a letter to the manager and perhaps we’ll get some sort of compensation for our troubles – like 5 free oil changes. OH BOY!!!
