Buying a new car...

So I must say that buying a new car sucks! It's one of those things that SHOULD be fun, but never ends up that way.
After a couple months of not knowing if my car would make it up hills, or to work or home, I finally decided it was time to retire the old lady and move on to something new. The idea excited me a bit at first being that I have never had a brand new car, or any car that wasn't co-signed on. Well, saturday was the big day. With my pops in tow, we went down to the Tom Matson Dodge in Auburn (this largely in part to the owner promising my dad that they would take SUPER good care of me). I had done my research, and knew EXACTLY what I wanted. When we got their this punk kid (maybe 21) comes out and starts talking to us like he has known us FOREVER! Now, I was in sales for many years, and I know the type of people that the field can attract. Pretty much, I got their number. So after this kid finished his well rehearsed introduction, he asked me what I was looking for. I told him that exact one that I was looking for. A black or silver Caliber SXT. So what does the guy do? He tells me about this SXT sport. With graphics, and chrome interior and all sorts of BULLSHIT that I didn't want. I told him that I wasn's looking to spend 30,000 on a car, but 15,000 for the regular SXT. Now this whole time, my dad, who was supposed to be with me to combat this kind of bullshit, is off pondering a new truck of his own on the other side of the lot...Thanks alot dad!
After going around and around with the salesboy, I finally decided to go on a test drive to shut him up once and for all. I look around for dad...still not there...hmm.
Vrroom vrrooom, so that part was done. we get back, I call my dad and tell him to get his ass back to the sales floor because we are going to talk pricing. As we sit their the salesboy continues to tell us how good of a deal we are getting with a 600 dollar payment on 350-450 car.....yah..right dude. So after haggling with this prick for about an hour, he finally gives me a price that I wanted. Done deal...or so I thought. I signed and was sent up to finance. We sit down with the lady, and the first thing out of her mouth is...WOW you have a reposession on your credit?!?! Uhhh...WHAT? I say back to her. She says, "Yah, from BECU?" At this point I am just floored. I have NEVER had a car reposessed EVER. In fact the money that I owed on the car they were concerning, was payed off and I had the proof in my hands. Well, I guess there is nothing we could do at that moment in time because they had to go off what it was at that current time. What that means is that I had to pay 5% more interest than when I was downstairs..but i needed a cr..so I did it....BIG SIGH!!!
