Subject: Re: M-INTRO: M-Intro:  Looking for a car


It is not only frustrating to try and buy a car, but
if you have ever tried to sell your car for a
reasonable price it can be just as frustrating as
well. I recently was trying to sell my car and became
so frustrated that I decided to just keep the car. I
was already asking a price that was lower then blue
book and if I would have gone any lower I would have
been upside down in the deal. When the people came to
look at the car they would always try to get me to
lower the price even lower so they could get a
bargain. They didn't care that I would have been
losing money on the deal as long as they got a good
deal. That is how our society is today, how can I
better my own situation regardless of what happens to
you.
