So 2 weeks ago I saw a car I wanted. THE car I wanted. Well, not the colour, but the rest of it was perfect. This was the one I had been told would take 6-8 months to get. I figured "Cool, but Im not ready yet, and it'll be gone by the time I am ready". had a look Friday and guess what was still there? Called them, asked if they could hold it till October. They could. Took it for a spin, loved it. Chucked down a deposit. Job done. I need to figure out the money because we still dont know how bigger loss the stupid Mazda is gonna take. But its nice having a plan and a path out of this bullshit situation. Im wayyyy less stressed because I may not be at the finish line, but I can see it in sight.
Fingers bloody crossed you get the car you want, you need a break after so much shit luck in the automobile dept
