There are good surprises and bad ones.
Bad one today.
The girl, the sister of my best friend, reneged on purchasing my car this morning. Via Facebook message.
Pretty fucked up, right?
We been discussing this for well over two months, in person and on the phone. I called her BEFORE I went and signed for my new car, and AFTER I signed, to remind her that her purchasing the car was absolutely necessary in order for me to get my new vehicle. She said she understood.
On top of that, we spoke on Monday and she said she would be here this morning. In the beginning of our conversations, I told her I would replace the windshield for her before she picked up the vehicle. She told me that she would be here this morning, therefore, keeping my word, I went out and spent $150 getting the windshield replaced yesterday. And because I wanted to do something nice for her, I also had it detailed and filled it up with a full tank of gas.
I now have to find $2,500.00 in two days. I called the dealership about a trade, but everyone knows you get fucked on those. Don't worry, I fully intend on getting my new car on Friday, but replacing trust and kindness is a little more difficult.

A person has the right to change their mind, BUT she was not upfront and honest with you. To come in in the 11th hour and back out like that? LAME-O.
Steenky - yes, indeed she does. However, last week, or even a month ago would have been so very helpful. It is all good though. All will work out in the end!
Sorry yo. Hope everything works out. Will keep my fingers crossed.
Squirty - word. :)
Ugh! I'd take it to the dealer and see what they are willing to do. With sales being down you might get a good surprise there. I'm sorry she backed out. That sucks monkey balls!
Lilli - Just got back from the dealership actually and yes, they did surprise me! I am doing a trade now. Whew. Crisis averted. For now.
Sometimes things just happen for a reason. I bet the dealer is going to give you DOUBLE what you thought. Watch.
Larkin - word!!!
I'm so happy that it took me a while to read your blog today, that way by the time I got to leave my comment, the news are much better on your end.
I can imagine your disappointment and even rage about your friend backing up from your deal, at the end of the whole situation is going to be her loss and it's going to work much, much better for ya'... karma!!!
Can't wait to see some pics of you and the new wheels!
Sunshine - pretty shitty, huh? I am glad that it seems like it is going to work out. I am still waiting on the government to get my refund to me, but it is SUPPOSED to be Friday. Let's hope they don't fuck it up!
That is totally messed up. I could never do that to a person!
Gee I wonder what she spent the money on...wink wink.
Ya know, I already didnt like it when she "switched sides" so now I guess that makes her no longer family OR friend haha.
Margaret - preach it!
Justin - who knows! But I do know burning bridges is never a good thing!
That really sucks. So hard to trust people anymore.
