A New Addition to Our Family

Unexpectedly (i think that's the word im looking for) we got a new addition to our family on Monday. No, Christy did not have the baby early. It all started Saturday afternoon when I was looking on craigslist at trucks. I've been looking for a 4 door tacoma for about 1-2 months now. When I first started looking I saw this cool silver one that looked awesome, but the guy was asking 15k for it. I thought that's too much I can't get that thing. So I just kept looking week after week also checking at the Sierra College Auto Fair. It was hard to find a nice looking truck in my price range, that was still in decent shape. Well, Saturday I'm on craigslist again and I notice the guy reposted the first truck I fell in love with and he had lowered his asking price to 14,650. I thought "dang, that's still a lot of money" but I would email an offer anyways. So I emailed him and offered 12k for it thinking he wouldn't even respond back. Sunday afternoon I check my email and he wrote back that he can't let it go for less than 13,300. So I emailed him right back and said sorry the absolute most I can afford at this time is 12,500 and that I would understand if he didn't take the offer. A little while later he responds saying it's a deal and to call him so we can complete the transaction. I thought "Holy smokes. What did I just get myself into?" So I call my friend's dad Bob, who is a car broker. He says that it would be an awesome deal if the truck is what he says it is. So I call the guy and set up a time to meet him on Monday evening. I take Bob with me and he inspects it and says its all in good shape and even talks the guy down another 200 bucks for me!!! So I get the truck for 12,300! We have fallen in love with it already. It has so much room in the back, for a carseat you know, and it runs great.

Thanks to the bank of Sidney Kelly for giving me the loan I needed. haha Now I have to sell my Mitsubishi to pay it off.
