Mom2legomaniacs Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Dh did the dealing with the dealers this week and pretty much got the deal we wanted. He will go in tomorrow morning to finalize. It is a 2008 Honda Civic! Don't know the color yet. The dealer is checking on inventory now to see what they have in stock for what we wanted. I am very happy this is finally happening. I'll put pics up on my blog when we get her home. YAH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brindee Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Oh goody! :D So glad he got responses and you were able to find a good deal! Yes, please put the picture up of your new baby when you get her home! Do you have a name picked out? Or do you wanna wait 'til you see her to giver'er a name? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxine in WA Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 I know it's not the same as a human baby, but a new car is still lots of fun. I hope you get the color of your choice. Enjoy your :auto:! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom2legomaniacs Posted June 26, 2008 Author Share Posted June 26, 2008 We will likely get a darker metallic gray. They have 2 on the lot with the specs we wanted and the interior of the other one is a really ugly color. Unless we really dislike the gray, we will get that one. I think we can order one and wait too. Since dh has been driving my purple car for about 8 years now, I am not saying a word about color or naming her. He has not said anything about disliking my purple car (kind of an eggplant purple). I drive the van now, which we have had for 8 years. He gets to have this one without my butting in too much. I only spoke up about the yucky interior which he totally agreed. It reminded us too much of the color of ds 1's diaper content as a wee baby. Ewwww. We got the dealer to go below MSRP which was great on this vehicle. They are selling for MSRP and more these days. So we were thankful that someone was willing to deal with us nicely. Now I have to relearn how to drive a stick shift! It has been many years since I have driven one. But dh likes them and wanted one again. He also pointed out that in 5 years, our ds will be getting his permit. He wants him to learn on a stick too. I am very excited! It will be nice to have a good reliable car around here! But we haven't had a car payment for 5 years, so that part will stink! There is a great rate on the Civics at the dealer right now though, so interest will be minimal.

DB in NJ Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Congratulations!!!! I hate shopping for a new car, but I sure do like it once we get it! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom2legomaniacs Posted June 26, 2008 Author Share Posted June 26, 2008 We only went to dealers a couple of times for test driving. Then it was all done by internet or phone. We'll go back tomorrow for the signing on the dotted line and taking home of the vehicle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qs3 Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Congratulations! My mom just bought one. I think her color is called atomic blue. She absolutely loves it! She says it gets excellent gas mileage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom2legomaniacs Posted June 27, 2008 Author Share Posted June 27, 2008 Congratulations! My mom just bought one. I think her color is called atomic blue. She absolutely loves it! She says it gets excellent gas mileage. The Atomic Blue is our first choice for color. We may decide, tomorrow, to wait for that color to come in. Or we may just take what is on the lot. Not sure. I really want to get it tomorrow though! We'll see. I am going to let dh decide on this one since I picked the last time for color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
