Have Car, Will Travel
May. 22nd, 2012 10:24 pmI think I just bought a car.
Well, will be buying a car tomorrow. My brother, who is the best brother in the world, decided to help me purchase one for my move to the Yukon. It's a loan, of course, and once I'm back on my feet I'll pay him back, but this was a god-send and I appreciate it so much.
So anyways, we were poking around kijiji today and found a few ads we were interested in. Our requirements was a car with low(-ish) mileage, safetied, and around $1500. The car we found? 130 000 km, red, and...an expired safety. BUT, it just expired, is in really good shape, and was listed for $800. I KNOW RIGHT?! My brother came with and basically asked all the questions and crawled around in and under the car. We're pretty sure it's in good enough shape to pass a safety inspection, unless there's something wrong with the brake or fuel line. It's pretty bare bones, and has a bit of surface rust (that my brother can repair himself), but it starts well and runs smoothly and I THINK I JUST BOUGHT MY FIRST CAR!!!
Oh yeah, I'm 31 years old and only just doing what every 16 year old has done.
Now let's just hope that she doesn't sell it out from under me.
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
