Car Shopping

Today I woke up to find the whole family sleeping. It was almost noon. They must have stayed up late last night. I had a hard day at work yesterday, so I turned in early. The reason I got up early was that my bro was coming over to look at cars. He is ready to buy a new one.

Today was the day to see Subaru. We first looked at the Outback. This is a station wagon style vehicle. It was nicer than I thought it would be. I appreciated that they had the bottom of the line vehicles in the lot to see. Next we test drove the Forrester. I love the look on the outside. They inside was a little cheaper than the Outback.

Finally we stopped by Honda to see the Ridgeline. We test drove one before. But the sunrof took up too much headroom. I liked the one we saw today. It was all black. Unfortunately the cost was in the $30k range. My bro needs to make the final decision. Then we will return to do some price bargaining.

Car Shopping

My bro is looking to buy a new vehicle. He asked me to go with him to do some car shopping. Nobody in the house was awake except me when my bro arrived. I thought we were going to the Subaru dealership. But my bro decided to see Honda instead.

We went to the same dealership where Momoko bought the Honda Fit for Kit Kat. My bro likes the Ridgeline. The sales associate showed us one in the showroom. We wanted to take a ride. The sales associate got us one to take for a spin by ourselves.

The thing had a sticker price of $35k. Yeah it was top of the line. I actually did not like that the sunroof took away headroom from the front seat. My bro liked both the acceleration and smooth ride. It felt more like a car than a truck.

This thing had a lot of undeeded extras. My bro does not want them. We asked to see a truck without the sunroof. The sales associate thought they might get one this week. I told her to call me if they did. Next week we hit the Subaru dealership to compare.
