Trying to buy a new car

Tweet

So we're finally getting a bigger car so it's easier for me to tote the baby around. We want a certain mid-size SUV, the simplest model, I do not need all the bells and whistles. Well apparently that's just an impossible request, because every dealership we've spoken to thus far has jerked us around and tried to sell us a higher model, therefore more money, or another car completely. We had one dealership try to sell us a two seater sports car. It was absolutely ridiculous! When my Husband said he was looking for a family car, the guy just shrugged, and said the sports car was a better investment. We're getting frustrated with dealing with everyone, and the one dealership who hasn't tried to up-sell us apparently can't quite seem to acquire the one we want. We already compromised on the color, but really you would think we were asking them to invent it for us or something. We don't want to be forced into buying one of the more expensive models just because the majority of the dealerships don't want to look for the one we want. This last dealership is the only one who's actually worked to try and find us what we want. It's still such a headache though.Hopefully tomorrow we'll get the call letting us know that the one our guy has tracked he got and is waiting for us. If not, I don't know what we're going to do next. Have you gotten headaches trying to purchase a car before?
