Found my car!

September 7th, 2007 at 03:16 am

That's right. I've found it. We looked at old Hondas aplenty, and a friend of the restaurant I work at came through. 1996 Honda Prelude, 1 owner, no accidents (outside of it running into the curb. He's replacing the suspension this week), and all for the low cost of $2500. *Fantastic* deal. He's giving it to me for wholesale price. He and the man that own the restaurant I work at run this car rental business, and they're getting rid of some of the vehicles that have higher miles on them (this one has almost 200k, but still, that aint bad). This guy is taking care of me, and I'm quite appreciative of it. BF and I looked at the car today. I'm super excited. I never thought I'd ever drive a red car, but it is quite so. I'll have to make sure and not speed :P

In other news, I've [finally] gotten signed up for my online class, and they made a mistake in saying I have PA residency (though technically I dont think I do- my liscence says Ohio), so I only had to pay $310 for the class (out of state I would have paid double that).

I packed my lunch today, ended up getting subway for dinner. The kid's meals there are awesome. I got a mini sub, a baggie of apple slices, and milk for $3.70-- and a TOY, which I was quite excited about Smile The yo-yo ended up being a flop, but I was happy to have it regardless.

Well, those are the highlights of the day. I'm sure I could keep rambling, but unfortunately I have things to do. Everyone have a great night!

    I agree, that IS a fantastic deal. Heck, I'd be tempted to buy that myself.

    I bet you could find a much better car in the $1k range. That is A LOT of miles for $2500. Even for a Honda. That being said if I were to take a risk Honda would probably be it (maybe Toyota). But if you love the red, well enjoy it!

    Check this out and modify the input I used if necessary:

    According to Edmunds (and not knowing your zipcode), it's just an average deal, or possibly a little worse than average.

    But you live there for most of the year and you have an apartment in that city right? That should make you a resident after a year for tuition purposes.

    My brother had a Prelude and loved it. Have fun in your new red car!
