Dropped off the phone to get it unlocked. Looked at a few vans and other suitable cars for living in for 12 months. Bought a 1996 Chevrolet Astro Van with 176,800 miles on the odometer for USD 2,746.50 - down from around 3 grand, but I made the mistake of telling the guy I had 2740 in cash on me and was willing to pay that if i could take the car then and there. He said ok, so I had no cash left and no ability to withdraw more cash that day because I had withdrawn the max amount from all my cards in one 24 hour period. The dealer wouldn't even drop the total price enough for me to buy dinner!
That's hilarious! Nice one! Wow, I'm impressed you found a car that will be reliable for that cheap! Nice work.
ReplyDeleteShame about not being able to buy dinner though... :-P
Love the flag hanging from the window. You didn't have an Australian one? :) Have some awesome adventures!

Hi Katya.
ReplyDeleteApparently these very patriotic Americans don't really like people showing off their own flags, unless maybe you have both your own and a US flag positioned equally in view!
The car dealer removed those flags anyway when I bought it.
I think I'll just try to keep a low profile for now. I don't want to create angst!
