I bought my first car with the help of the fabulous Leonanna at Autoland, two women lacking interpersonal communication skills at my credit union, Progressive, and my dad’s advice.
It’s a 2005 Dodge Neon SXT. I know, I know… A Neon doesn’t exactly exude hott guy inside. I wanted a Toyota Yaris hatchback soooo much, but alas, all the cool kids with lots more money bought all of them. I start internship interviews next week, so I don’t have the additional luxury of time.
Leonanna at Autoland in LA was just phenomenal. She’s a rockstar car buyer. If I hadn’t had her help, I wouldn’t have driven a car home yesterday. She found an economic, fuel-efficient, automatic mode of transportation still under factory warranty with a clean CarFax.
When Arthur & I finally met her yesterday, she shook my hand and said, “You’re gorgeous, but I was expecting you to look like him. [shakes Arthur's hand] You know, blond hair, blue eyes.” It made me laugh. He’s universally attractive.
The situation was similar when we met Cassie at the leasing office when apartment hunting. Cassie said, “You [me] must be the good looking one in the relationship and he [Arthur] must be the brains. At least that’s how it is in my relationship,” after I misunderstood the difference between two similar promotions being offered. I maintain that Arthur is a hottie and a scholar.
Finally, I am taking Leonanna’s advice: The Dodge is just until I get a real job with real money and can come back and buy a Lexus from her. I probably won’t buy a Lexus, but I will definitely do business with Autoland again.
To be very honest, I am surprised you ended up purchasing a car made in Asia, designed in Asia, but owned by an American corporation. Rather than a car made in Asia, designed in Asia, and owned by a company in Asia. I mean, what happened to your morals?
Now you and Arthur can drive to San Diego and visit me!
