so, i think i did it better this time… i checked online for 3 days, have driven 5 cars, have adjulated and calculated to the cent how much i can swing either way.
i spent only an hour at zimbrick east checking out 4 cars. one of which was the car i could drive for the next 5+ years considering the cost. it’s a little white 06 nissan sentra. and they’re itching to sell it. the salesman was very un-pushy; i will say.
here’s what i’d like to have happen tomorrow before 10: drive car, buy car, return rental, get to work. i think that’s pushing it, but it’s randomly good to have high expectations.
edit 30 minutes later: the mazda3 sedan has manual locks and windows… i know it seems like a nicety that you might not bother with, but i will. i think dollar for dollar, the nissan from zimbrick east is the one.
