My new car!

We got a Jeep Grand Cherokee last night.  It's one year older than my old car, but it has less miles and the payments are lower.....which is a plus!  I'm still having mixed feelings at the moment though.  I like the car, but the sales experience was awful!  Jason got a letter in the mail the other day saying that the dealership would give us extra money for our car, above the blue book value.  So Jason decided to go down and just see what kind of offer they would give us and what kind of vehicles they had.  He found a couple that he liked that were in our price ranges so they let him drive them up to me, since I was at home with the kids.  He brought home a Jeep Patriot, which was nice, but no cruise control (i have a lead foot so i need that!).  Then he found this Cherokee that he really liked, but it was late at night.  So the salesman told him he could bring it home for the night, let me drive it around and then bring it back the next day.  So he talked to the finance officer to get round about prices, nothing final, and decided to bring it home.  They told him if I didn't like i then, we could bring it back, no problem, and get a different vehicle or get my car back.  I was driving it around yesterday and noticed a few things that i didn't like and that needed to be fixed so we decided to take it back to the dealership and get my old car back.  We get there and they start trying to pressure us in to getting it, and they had 3 different sales people talk to us, with about a half hour wait in between each time they talked to us and then they said they'd be back in a second while they checked stuff.  Since when did a few minutes translate into 45?  We told them that we just wanted to get my car back, then one guy comes over and tells us that the paper Jason signed last night when they told him he could bring it home was a contract of sale so were pretty much stuck.  He then told us he didn't want to be a jerk and wouldn't force it on us, since the finance person had told Jason something else.  But after us being stubborn and not wanting to give in and every time i asked if we could just get my car back, they started avoiding answering.  So it came down to that we were pretty much stuck getting a car.  Which got me very annoyed.  But our being annoyed and stubborn paid off.  They lowered the payment to $20 lower than our current payment, we didn't have to do a down payment, they gave us a little more on my stratus, and they bought us dinner at Lonestar.  As we were signing the papers I found a paper that said "Borrower's Agreement."  Can you guess what that paper is used for?  Yup, you got it.  That's the paper you're supposed to sign when you take a car off the lot and then are bringing it back, like what Jason did.  But did they finance guy have Jason sign that? No!  He was a slimeball and tricked him into signing the contract instead by saying that if he wasn't happy he could bring it back.  The finance officer we worked with last night was a different guy than the one Jason talked to before.  It's people like that that give dealerships and salesmen a bad name.  I told Jason when he called me the night before and said he was bringing a car back that I've heard of stuff like that happening.  If any of you remember, when I worked a t Western Wats  I was in charge of a project that called people who had recently purchased a Hyundai vehicle and I heard so many times of stories just like this happening so I didn't want that happening, but I was assured by both the salesman and Jason it wouldn't, but......it did.  I have to go back to the dealership so they can fix a few things so I'm going to go talk to that finance guy and give him a little piece of my mind about what he did.  If it hadn't been for the fact that we were under contract, I would have walked right out and gone somewhere else.  Ok, now that I got that out.  I do like my new car.  We have been talking about getting something like this for awhile.  It has more room, drives really smooth, and it very quiet.  Plus, it has a sunroof!  I was a bit iffy because I don't like to drive trucks or big vehicles, but this one doesn't seem awkward to drive.  Brenna and Ian love the sunroof.  Brenna started calling it a "hatch" and Ian picked up on it so every time we get in, he points to it and says "hatch."  Jason says I look like a soccer mom now driving it.....but how can I be a soccer mom without any kids playing soccer?
