New Car!

2007 Steel Metallic Blue Honda Pilot EX-L with Navigation plus chrome running boards (not pictured).


From this past Friday until Sunday, there was a flurry of activity going on as far as looking for the car that we wanted. Fiona and I were on the phone a lot talking to different dealers. It was a trying experience as we negotiated over the phone. Since we had already gone down to a few dealerships, test drove the car, ended up being their longer then we should have, and going home empty handed, it was better for us to talk about the numbers via phone. There was one dealership that didn't have the car but was quite confident that he could locate one quickly and that we should head on down. As it stood, we did not go down there (knowing from previous experience that the car we wanted was hard to obtain). He could not locate one that we wanted.

On Sunday, we got word from one dealership (Weir Canyon Honda) that they found one and had to just trade with another dealership. We were about to head down there when we got a call back that the other dealership was in the process of selling it to someone who was interested and was on their way down there. We waited for a call back from Weir Canyon and in the end we went down to the other dealership (that they were trying to trade with) that had it (Diamond Bar Honda). As it turned out the buyer never showed up and thus the rest is history. The kids are loving it and I know that Fiona loves it (especially with the Navigation and rear camera safety feature).
