My Dream Car

I finally own my DREAM CAR !!!

Well, me and Chrysler Financial, anyway. {yeah, yeah I know the grammer sucks, but it sure is colloquial, ain't it?}

I have lusted for a Chrysler Sebring Convertible, a silver one, ever since they came on the market.
I was in Killeen last week for the funeral of a life-long friend and family member {by marriage}for the last 20 odd years. While I was there I went to a dealership owned by a family friend. I had gotten my poor little totaled {see "My Lamented Absence" blog} Ranger there, and got a great deal on it. They only had one car they I both liked and could afford. So I took the salesman's card and promised to call, if I didn't find anything at home.

That was Friday. My Mom's brother at her house when I got there Friday night and he suggested I check the paper Saturday morning. I didn't expect to find anything, but sure enough, there she was, my dream car! And the ad said: "6Kmi; $13,855" Well, my heart started going pitter-pat, pitter-pat.
I called and made sure the mileage wasn't a misprint. I simply couldn't believe an '04 Sebring with mileage THAT low for a price THAT low. But the salesman, said the actual mileage was 6700 miles. Oh yeah, that extra 700 miles is gonna be a deal breaker !!!

I got directions to the lot, a dealer's used lot. And got myself down there an hour after they opened.
The first question I asked was : "Has it been wrecked?" No.
Looked under the hood: Clean, no rust, no dirt, no oil stains, no frayed wiring, no loose belts.
Looked in the trunk: lots of room, jack under the tiny spare tire, clean carpeting,
good tread, practically new looking Eagle tires.
Vinyl Soft top, with aninsulated headliner to cut down on heat/ac loss and road noise.
Cruise, remote entry, remote trunk release, power locks, power mirrors, power windows, CD, 30mph on the highway, only used 3/8 tank from Killeen to Denton {so it gets better mileage than my Ranger} Oh and this is so freakin cool, when you press the button to lower the top, all 4 windows automatically go down.
The interior is black cloth, which I actually prefer. But Miss Boo WILL be riding on a sheet.
The only things it didn't have were an ashtray and cigarette lighter, but it had a plug. So I bought a lighter and a small ashtray that fits in the cupholder. But I'll get another "Bobken", that way the ashes won't blow around and get the upholstry and carpeting messy.

I am in automotive heaven.
