Over the last few months, Keith and I have sunk a chunk of money in a certain GMC Envoy. After the last little bit, we decided it wasn't worth it anymore and with gas prices as such, we should probably just go ahead and get another car. After searching the internet for possible deals, we headed to a couple of places in town to try a couple out. One place we went, which will remain nameless, boasted of doing 125 point checks on all the vehicles they purchased for resale. The first car we tried wasn't bad. Actually, if they would have given us more for our trade-in, we might have purchased it. The second car wasn't great. Our first red flag was condensation on the sunroof...inside the car. When the salesperson was asked about it, she responded that it hadn't been cleaned yet. Really? Because that feels like moisture to me. Anywho, the third and final car I wanted to drive ended up having a dead battery. I couldn't help myself at this point. If you know me, you know have a very limited filter and sometimes it's just non-existent. So after hopping out of the dead battery car I asked if the battery was included in the 125 point check. The reply was sometimes something gets left on and no one reports it. To which I exclaim/ask, "How long has this car been sitting here?" All in good fun, but still, I think it's a valid question.
As I mentioned before, they didn't offer enough for the GMC and we went back to another dealer that we worked with before. Now I have a shiny new object to drive which will hopefully need minimum maintenance for a while.

And the new shiny object ended up being what kind of car? Pictures to post? :)
It's a Hyundai Santa Fe...named Carlos...who is white.
