The Verdict Is In...

I talked to yet another lovely GMAC rep yesterday afternoon and was told (in a very sweet, annoying voice) that I could turn in my vehicle whenever I like and pay around $4,500 (that's including over mileage fees) plus wear & tear charges. Part of me is happy - the other part of me is ticked off.

The happy part says "Great, we can finally get out of this car and be done with the whole situation." The ticked off part says "Seriously? It's gonna cost me THAT much and I have nothing to show for it?" I'm not sure which part is winning the fight right now.

It all boils down to that I've missed the "date" by 3 days. Good thing is "the dealership" says they can possibly get around that, which would be great but I don't want to deal with them! I have major issues with that dealership, but I was told by GMAC that this dealership is the only one that can "get around" that contract date since it's where I bought my car. I don't like that dealership though. Plus, they don't sell Tahoes, they sell Yukons. The hubs would rather have the Yukon (bigger is better, yada yada), but I'm gonna be the one driving this boat to work... I've decided that as long as I can go forward and not have to go into reverse...I'll be fine - HA! Anyways, another issue is the change in payments. We can afford either vehicle, but I'd rather not have that high of a payment. Ugh.

Now, some might be wondering why in the world are we getting such a gas guzzler when we have no direct need for something so huge... The theory is... we can haul around family easier (such as his fam and mine) and that one day we will have kids (hopefully in the next two years or so) - and their car seats will be much easier to fit into a SUV than a car.... Because, let's face it. If you think I'm gonna haul a kid in and out of a car seat ...in a car.. ha, you're mistaken. I've tried that before (with other ppl's children) and it just isn't happenin'. Anywho, it's also a lot easier for hubs to get into/out of a SUV than my low to the ground car. I have to admit, at times its hard for me not to fall out of it! And plus, driving back and forth everyday, I almost get into wrecks quite often. It scares the bee-gee-bus out of me when this happens - as my car is little and not very "safe." I want something I'll feel protected in. Something bigger and not low to the ground. I want to sit up high and run cars over if need be (I'm kidding, I think.).

Anyways, to cut it short (yeah right), we'll be looking at vehicles this weekend. I'm really hoping that we can find an awesome deal. There are some great incentives/rebates going on right now (ending Feb 2nd) and we also get the supplier discount - so maybe we'll luck out. :o)
