My condo in Maui hasn’t closed yet, which means I don’t have the money in hand, which means I can’t make an offer on a new place yet, and it means I can’t buy a car yet. My intention is to get a late-model used car, so I was going to spend a bit of the condo money. Instead, all I have is about $5000 in my budget toward a new car.
In the meantime, I’ve just been car-less, or I’ve borrowed Denis’ car. Can I do this for ten-plus more days?
Then yesterday on the way back from the grocery store, I saw this:
It’s a car for sale that’s parked along the side of the road. The price? Just under $5000. Is this a sign? It seems like a pretty strong coincidence. Should I just buy this car? I could drive it for a couple years, and patch it up along the way, then get something better when I’ve settled in a little bit. I have to admit, I’m tempted to just go with it.
I have no idea. Somebody (*cough* Lloyd *cough* Sam *cough*) with more car-buying experience should probably weigh in on this.
Does it run? Just checking as it’s parked on the Freeway?
