We didn't do much of anything this weekend to warrant an update - one thing was fun but it's my Si.Pi.Di. for the week, so come back Thursday to check that out.
Learned something new this weekend, though. Want to know how to make your phone ring off the hook so you feel super popular? (Slash super annoyed and want to throw your phone against the wall...) Well my friends, the answer is to simply get a quote for a car over the Internet.
Houston Kia dealerships - 1. Kaitlyn - 0.
I don't really SUPER need a new car - but I can just feel my Saturn starting to crap out on me. (It's getting old, 80,000 miles old.) And, since they don't even MAKE Saturn's any more, repairs could be pretty pricey.
Our neighbor in our old apartment complex got the new Optima last year and ever since then I've been in loooveeee. Isn't it so pretty?
So on Friday, I got an innocent little quote online to see what my monthly payments would be. (Sidenote - it's SUPER nice to have a car that's completely paid off...a car payment every month would cut into my house savings a lot.)
Innocent my behind! On Friday ALONE I got 10 phone calls. TEN! All Houston area Kia dealerships called and left voicemails. And then I got 12 emails. I am not exaggerating!!
I get that they are just doing their job, but it's so annoying. If I was thinking of seriously buying, I would pick the one dealership that didn't call at all. Maybe I'm just a certain type of consumer, but I don't like to be pestered or annoyed. Like when I walk into a store, I want to be left alone. If I want help, I'll ask for it.
Real substance here today, I know. It was a long night of no sleep thanks to snorry mc snorston.
