Buying a Pre-owned car

 

March 12        from my journal

The prospect of owning a newer car is exciting but I don't look forward to the haggling over the price. It is awkward. It’s embarrassing. It’s stressful. I know that moment is coming. How much do I offer?   The sales person is going to try to out-maneuver me then he has to check with somebody in another office. I wait. When a deal is done why do I wonder if I could have bought it for less? Then I drive home and don't I tell the first person that admires the car, how little I paid.

 "It is good for nothing cries the buyer. But when he had gone his way he boasts."

(Proverbs 20:14)
