So while I have lots of pictures and events that have happened in the last few weeks, I am choosing to make this post since if I don't make it here I will be making it to the editor of our newspaper. I am venting here instead of there so that I get anyone in serious trouble even though right now I think they deserve it. We have been looking to get a new car for a while now (8 mos or so). It takes Jared a significant amount of time to decided on these types of things as those of you who know him well know. We finally made our decision yesterday and after spending around 4 hours at the Ford dealer here going through all the numbers multiple times and them giving us numerous print outs of what payments and costs would be. We call ford told them we wanted the car and they said just give a us a 15 min heads up before you leave to come down and we can make this quick. So we loaded all the kids and took them down to the dealer. My first thought is that this is seeming too easy but since we spent the entire day before doing all the negotiating I figured that maybe this was the bonus. We were at the dealer for about 30 mins. Before they told us that they couldn't do the financing the way they told us they could the day before. We showed them the computer print out we had gotten from them, we called the salesperson who had gone through all the numbers with us. Since she was out of town she sent us to someone else but assured us they had all the info and would be able to take care of everything. Well the only thing they took care of was making me so mad I started crying and swearing I would never buy a ford from them ever in this lifetime. I know, I know like they care but saying it somehow makes me feel better. Anyway, now we start all over again and maybe when we are finally done with buying a car and dealing with the sub humans I call car dealers I may just have to take a nice vacation to avoid being committed to an institution.

Hi Kim,
I found your blog through the Hills, it was so good to check in with your family again. I hope all is going well, I wish we could be done with our training as well and begin car shopping.

Kim- there is nothing worse than buying a car. Rich is much like Jared and although that is a blessing it can be frustrating at times too. But I have to agree that car salemen are the lowest of the low. I am sorry!!
