Hi job, thanks for stopping by! I contemplated a lot a car I want to buy… I’ve been set on Audi for a few years now. I have a 2001 Passat, V6, and I love it. I still like the car, the interior, the seats, the drive (even though it has been deteriorating recently). But, this car has almost 148,000 miles on it. I t already cost me about $1,000 in repairs last year, and who knows what else can go wrong. I was told 2 years ago that the transmission was going bad and was about to give in... I drove 2 more years after I was told that I needed to replace the transmission. I just don’t want to take any risks any longer….

So, I was looking for a used Audi (that came from a lease)… My GF’s brother works at the dealership, and she told me that he could give me a great deal. I went there tonight… He gave me a few deals on the used cars, and also told me that the best deal was for the new 2016 car… because they need to get rid of them in anticipation of the 2017 models. I was not considering this, but… he really gives me a great deal… I’m almost convinced… It is more than I wanted to spend on a car… But, I think I deserve it (I do have 2 Masters Degrees after all)… and I can afford it (sort of, considering the financing)… And it could be the best present for my 50th B-day! (Am I having a midlife crisis myself???) IDK… I could never dream that I would be able to afford an Audi… And here I am… And I don’t even need H for this… I can do it on my own!

So… I need to make a decision the next couple of days to get that deal I was offered… I’m very excited regardless of what I decide to do, new or used!
