Can't Wait

I bought my car yesterday.....finally.

Having looked through a few dealers over the weekend, I ended up with a big headache. I didn't know which car to buy...and to be honest, I didn't think I have seen a car that I fancied. Toyota Yaris? Vauxhall Corsa? Peugeot? I couldn't really decide.

On Sunday night, I made a list of the cars I would like to view. The dealers were rather near my place (except for one, the Toyota Bishopbriggs), and I thought I could use a morning walk to get to them. However, Toyota was the only shop that was selling a 1.3 Toyota Yaris, the car which I was looking at. And I really wanted to see and test drive it before making any further decision. Therefore, I decided to take the train to Bishopbriggs first thing on Monday morning, which I did.

I walked through the entire car park at Toyota, in search for that 1.3....but no where to be seen. All I saw was 3-4 1.0's. I was quite disappointed. Then, a car salesman approached me and asked if I needed help. I told him that I was looking for that 1.3...and he said it was sold last week. He offered me another 1.3 Yaris, which apparently, would only arrive this Sunday or the coming Monday. I couldn't wait that long. He also offered a few 1.0 Yaris. In fact, I got to test drive the latest one.

I have to admit that the car was certainly very nice to drive in. Fun, cool, light steering....the only thing was it didn't feel solid (if you get what I mean). After much pondering, I told him that I would come back if I wanted the Yaris, as I wanted to search for other cars (eg, Corsa/peugeot). Being a really good salesman, he looked for a peugeot using his computer database.

There was Peugeot 1.1 that just arrived on site a few days ago. He asked if I would like to look at it. It was a 3 year old car, special edition - two-toned colour, and the mileage was merely 16ooo. The price was attractive too at 4988. So I test drove the car...and boy, it felt great! I loved it. It felt solid and definitely has slightly more power than the Yaris 1.0. In fact, it was a 5 door car and came with a CD player.

3 to 4 hours later, and after wasting loads of saliva talking/bargaining, I finally paid my deposit for the car....and I can collect it this Friday! woohoo! Can't wait to be honest...
