I went this weekend to the dealership to get my new Forester (in Red). The experience was alot different from the time we bought our Nissan Altima. That was a learning experience so this time I scrutinized everything with a magnifying glass. With the Altima, we wound up paying alot more than we were told. No thanks to their tactic of not telling you how much you were financing, rather how much you can afford in monthly payments…and all the extras we were forced to buy. (Bay Ridge Nissan, You SUCK!!)
The Forester looked so big in the showroom. I was hesitant because I didn’t want a tanker of a car. However, when I went out to test drive it, it looked small. I guess it’s all about your surrounding perception. Ride was smooth…felt more like a car than a SUV. It was very niiiiccceee.
The dealer seemed fair. He threw in a few extras at no cost. I had a little problem of putting down the deposit. It took a good 15 minutes. As you can tell, that only reiterates my committment phobia. Do you blame me? It’s a big purchase and I’ll be driving this car for the next 10 years.
I will be picking up the car on Wednesday…..
