Long day is long.
I ended up going car shopping in the morning, then waited around anxiously for an individual to talk to me about his RX-8, then on a whim I searched through Craigslist for Eclipses in the area one more time. As luck would have it, I saw a 2008 Eclipse GT Spyder for a killer price at a dealership of all places!
Yeah, I bought it.
The sales associate was really cool - my age, so we joked about pop culture and Napoleon Dynamite as he took me through the paperwork. I was very relieved that this particular dealership was also pretty low pressure and laid back, like the place I bought my tC from, and there was no haggling. I was already getting private party for the car, and that was about as good as I could expect. Even better, actually.
So in the end, in this round I test drove one of the newer tCs, a Ford Fiesta (WTF? Pushy sales lady at the Ford dealership practically forced me into that car. I told her I was looking a sporty two door. A FIESTA IS NEITHER.)
OH, and since the dealership I was buying the Eclipse at was Chevy, the sales associate who was helping me got wind via Eclipse (the gryphon, not the car) that I loooooooove Corvettes, and he took me out for a spin in one! I swear, if I had more dollars and less sense I would have walked out with that car.
But the Eclipse is a good, lateral move. A slight upgrade, even! And now I can say the most important thing in my life is Eclipse, and people won’t ever know for sure what I mean. Mwahahahahaha!
