You Go Girl
We picked up a new Honda Odyssey for Kristen this afternoon. It had gotten a little cumbersome getting little Sarah in and out of Kristen's Civic. Now she has room to transport Sarah's whole daycare class.
Kristen resisted even considering a minivan for two years. I think she felt like a certain amount of resignation of youth was associated with having a minivan.
It only took one test drive for her to fall in love. She drove a hard bargain and got the vehicle for $2,500 less than their "final" offer. Even the business manager's eyes bugged out when she realized we were buying their hottest selling vehicle at the dealer invoice price with several extras thrown in for free.
I am not sure how Kristen did it, but she is negotiating my next car purchase.
