Purchased my first vehicle of my short career in this game called life. It took a while to find the right car for the right price and wasted a lot of time driving around. Until I found
my Monti, thats the nickname I gave the bitch. Its a 2002 Mercury Mountaineer with 99k miles AWD with all the options. The only thing that it didn't have is moonroof, but I think I will manage with out one.I really developed my negotiating skills in the last week and was able to bargain the price of the Monti from $5400 to $4850, and it KBB for 6700. I feel that it is a good car for the price, but only time will tell. I was inbetween a 2001 Mitsubishi Montero Sport that had 90K for $5000. What made the difference was that the Mountaineer was had a lot more luxury options and was a overall more comfortable car.
A week until I leave for Tahoe and start a new chapter in my life. I've been looking forward to this adventure for a long time and it is now reality. I've got the first months rent paid and some cash to float with until I secure a job. Once Heavenly opens to 100% I will be hired on a the ski shop but for now I don't have any work when I get up there. It snowing all week in Tahoe, so I praying that it will be enough to open the whole mountain. That is all for now, please join me in prayer for snow in South Lake Tahoe.
