Dissapointed

Well, yesterday I had figured on buying a car. There was this forest green, automatic, 2003 Subaru Forester with only 94,000 miles on it for 9 grand. When I was just on my way to go pick it up to take to my mechanic for a look-over, the dealer called to tell me that they sold it on Wednesday. Well, nuts! But then he also told me that they were getting more 2003's in on Monday and that he'd let me know about them as soon as he could. I appreciated his promptness in calling.

I've been seriously considering a new/newer car since March. My '91 Ford Escort wagon has been acting up a lot this year, getting worse and worse. It stalls on many occasions, after I start out again after breaking. It's a little dangerous to drive, so it's well over time for a new one.

At least my search for what make/model I want is over. Among others, I went through a period of wanting a Mazda3 hatchback for a long time, and then either a Kia Rio or Kia Spectra hatchback. But a Subaru Forester will better fit my lifestyle and needs, and be able to be driven anywhere (with AWD) and will nicely adapt for whatever changes might occur in my life in the near future, unlike those little sporty cars. I'm trying to go for something that will last me quite a while, Lord willing.

We'll see.
