bloodsong1So today was errand day, as SNB was off. We went to breakfast at the Park Diner, which we had never been to before.
Plaza is better.
Then we went to the bank and then to Serafini Nissan, as the sales rep who sold me Ripley had a proposition for me. Turn in Ripley now, get a check for the payoff and drive away in a 2013 Sentra with three driving modes, new styling and almost 35mpg.
They only had a silver, which will NOT work for me, I will lose it EVERY DAY I'M IN A PARKING LOT, but the test drive was smooth, the seats were more comfortable, the windshield is higher, the visors have extensions and the trunk is a scoush bit smaller.
I was willing to make the switch, as long as they got a better color. They had a dark purple/gray and two shades of blue. $500 down, title and reg fees to be paid on delivery. Sure, I said. Why not? It'll make a nice birthday present to myself.
Then we go over to Finance and I inform him about my job situation. He sits back, looking worried, and I assured him I wouldn't be upset if it didn't go through. He ran the numbers I had and said he'd do what he can.
SNB and I left to pick up the Tea Party Cake and do the grocery shopping. As we pull into Weis, Finance calls me back.
"You're pre-approved!"
"Um, what?"
"You've been pre-approved by Nissan Finance for up to $400+ payments. $319 is not a problem. You've been such a good customer, there's nothing to worry about!"
"Awesome!"
I'M GETTING A NEW CAR!!!
*happy dance*
