Our Car Shopping Experience


We are the proud owners of a new car.Went and bought it today after lots of Internet searching.Our former car was on its last legs and we knew the day had come to look for a new car.Ken is in the car.As you can tell by the picture it had started to snow when I took this picture.The detailing of the car sure doesn't last long in such gloomy weather.Need to take more pictures of the car on a bright and sunny day and post one again.Whenever we get a new car it is always a tradition to take a picture of it that day so that is why the picture was taken although it was a rainy turned to snow sort of day.


Going to a car dealership is something that neither Ken or I enjoy.How nice to have the Internet to do the searching for us.Ken had been admiring a car that has been on display at our local mall by a local dealership.Not knowing much about the car, our Internet search started.We liked what we read about the car so I contacted the Internet salesman at the dealership.We bought a new 2008 Kia Rondo.They have a few 2008 models that they want to sell so they offered us a great price.


Our Internet salesman was so kind and made this the best car shopping experience that we have ever had in our 35 years of marriage.Knowing what we wanted when we went to the dealership really helped.We got a great deal and was treated quite fairly and kindly.


To celebrate the purchase of our new car Ken and I decided to go to Chili's Restaurant for dinner earlier this evening.We were having a nice meal when we noticed that one of the bosses that we had met at the dealership had come in with his wife.He stopped at our table and once again thanked us for buying the car and shook our hands again.That was so kind of him.Then to our surprise he told us that he was going to buy our dinner.They sat a few tables away from us.When our waiter brought our check the dealership boss told the waiter that he would take the check.This kind gesture has left such a nice impression on us.A new car and a nice meal paid by the kindness of someone else sure has made our day!

Cute car!
It reminds me of a little station wagon too.
My favorite car I've ever had was a silver Escort wagon and it was shaped a little like yours.

hope you enjoy yours and have many safe miles in it.
