With regard to boyfriends, intimidation is our best weapon, isn't it ?



I am still that guy except she lives with my ex and any chance for that type of scrutiny is now completely elective for her.

It seems like they grow up so fast. If time travel was possible, the first place Id choose to re-appreciate is the time I spent with them. But, since it isn't and, as a mere mortal, my choice now is to just try and make the most of the time together that we have left.

That is almost a too good to be true price!

That is what I thought too! The sellers were almost a cliche'... They are are snowbirds and this was a second vehicle for them and they decided to spend their time in Arizona full time.

An old couple with a low mileage cherry of a car is a used car buyers dream! Congrats to you and your daughter.

Yeah it is...super good deal.

Fish on...

Needless to say, I didn't find any deals like JTD. I did work down to what I think was a really good price on a new Outback, but I couldn't pull the trigger. School started back up and I realized pretty quick that it's probably a really bad idea to take on a $400/mo. car payment unless absolutely necessary. Right now, it's not.

This was a fun thread, so something good came of it all.

Glad you came to your senses.

My F150 clutch master cylinder or slave cylinder gave up the ghost in rush hour traffic tonight. Cool guy in a Subaru Outback flipped an illegal U-turn and backed up to my front bumper. He asks "Do you want me to pull ya over to the shoulder?. I've got a chain." Thanks Rick with the Outback!

I'd guess that when your daughter smiled at the folks, their inner grandparent kicked in & made her a good deal. Nice find.

Too funny. Flea, thanks for the Subaru thread. Refreshing. JTD, you're a lucky guy. Good car for a newer driver. With decent tires she should be able to hit the passes in our area without any issues. Maybe you could throw a tow strap by the spare tire, in case my Ford peters out again.

The only luck I've had is being able to share my time with her. The car deal is her luck, but I am glad I could help.


She tweeted a new picture, a selfie of her in the driver's seat with a caption that says something like "Just a selfie, but LOOK at that interior... Daaaang!"
