gemfyre"Don't look too interested, I want to try and get the price down"
"It's green"
"It's older than I really want"
"Remember, we don't _have_ to buy this one"
I have a new car.
It's a Daewoo 1.5 somethingorrather, 1995.
we got it for $3000, fool of a seller told us he was off to Melbourne on Sunday.
It was a decent shade of green, sorta dark misty grey/green.
The specs (including trivialities that I wanted)
- rearview mirrors both sides
- panic handles
- a door pocket (too big for the street directory to sit in nicely unfortunately but the first aid kit sits in nicely
- working cab light
- cassette player
- cigarette lighter in close proximity to cassette player (for car discman)
BUT
I don't need the cigarrette lighter because this thing has a
SIX STACKER CD PLAYER!!!!! *squeals*
I don't know how to work it yet but the guy who sold it said he'd drop by the instructions, and if not a geeky friend should be able to sort it out for me
Also has air-con, mmm, that'll be a pleasant new experince this summer
Intermittent wipers
A more powerful engine (sure it eats a tad more fuel but not too much)
nice upholstery, comfy seats
a covered boot
Engine got rebuilt in April
Rego has already been paid for 6 months...
it's so cool!!! There will be much showingoffness in the weeks to come.
*vroom vroom*
