Weeeeee!!!

So last night I had gone and looked at the car on the lot, no pressure since they don't sell them on Sunday's in MN and it was 1:30 or so in the morning when I went.

I woke up this morning and was at the dealer by 10:00.  They had opened around 8:30.  When I drove in, I noticed that the car wasn't in its spot anymore.  I thought it was just my luck that they had sold it in the hour and half they had been opened. 

I parked anyway since I had made the trip and was going to see what else was on the lot, or ask a salesman if it had just been moved.  While walking around, I spotted it sitting in the sold section, just as a salesman approached me. 

I asked him if it had been sold and he said that a different salesperson's daughter was looking at it and thinking about buying it.  He knew she wanted it, had already sold her other car, but hadn't figured out all of her loan information yet, so he went into talk to the salesperson father about it.

That father said something along the lines of:  she didn't put any hold money down on it.  If you can sell it before she does, feel free to sell it.

So we went off for a test drive and ended up selling it.  Almost missed this opportunity, but glad to own a hybrid Escape now.
