Pat’s Point of View

The car saga has ended—today we bought a car! A 2003 model Subaru Impreza RV, and a very tidy example too. Excellent condition, stock standard, low KMs and a good price.

I spotted it on the internet yesterday and emailed the dealer, looking for his best price for a quick cash sale. He rang back this morning and suggested we come take a look. Despite having to catch two buses to get there I managed to drag Jenn along, but she insisted “we’re not buying anything today!”. When we got there (Tom Kerr in West Ryde) it wasn’t long before Jenn was hooked and demanded a test drive. She gave it a good work-out and we decided it was a great find.

Although Jenn didn’t negotiate in her usual manner (ie the salesperson won’t get fired this time) we negotiated a good deal and walked away with a car. We pick it up on Wednesday. They even lent us a car in the mean time, which saved us from further bus-bound torment.

The RV is perfect for us: lots of room, sporty styling and performance, AWD for the snow/country trips and reliable Subaru quality. And we couldn’t have found a better example, it was like a brand new car (minus the ugly grill Subaru have added to the 06 Impreza range).

We’re very happy :)
