Destiny and Karma

Daryl has wanted a truck for almost 3 years.... maybe even longer than that.  We take our financial goals very seriously, so a number of stars had to align before he would even consider looking.  Also, he wanted to wait until the technology was overhauled.  Well February was THE month for everything to come together.  Daryl finally had the truck of his dreams picked out:  The Ram 1500 Laramie.  It is a super sweet ride.  We weren't planning to purchase one for a few more months, but a great deal came up at a local dealership so we went in for a test drive, but said we weren't buying that day.   We came back a few days later and decided to pull the trigger since the deals they were offering were actually really good.

We bring the kids with us and are all excited about sealing the deal on the truck.  Well they decide to start playing the back and forth game with the numbers and then, at the end, start throwing in all of these junk fees that they should have told us about in the beginning.  So we walk.  It was a $411 difference but, the thing is, we don't NEED the truck, but they NEED to sell it, so there.  Adios.  And for good measure, Daryl decided to tell the Sales Manager off for the shady dealings.  He told me all he could imagine was them trying to pull a fast one like that over one of our moms or my grandma and it just made him mad (to put it mildly).

So the search for the perfect truck continued and Daryl finds another dealership that was on top of their game. They talked everything through over the phone and email so all we had to do today was walk in and sign the paperwork.... and saved $2000+ over the offer from the last place.  Once all was said an done, we had mentioned the last place we almost bought from and they said "That is where this truck came from."  So lo and behold, Daryl DID end up with his original dream truck, for $2000+ less.  So HA to the other guys!
