[speaker001:] uh what kind of car would you uh buy next
[speaker002:] well that's a good question we just got in from looking at cars and we've probably been looking at them for a couple months and we haven't bought one yet so that almost answers the question how about you
[speaker001:] oh you have okay oh and you haven't um we just bought one um we bought one about a month ago it was a ninety one Ford Thunderbird
[speaker002:] oh
[speaker001:] um we really liked it because um we just moved here from South Dakota and we have we do some quite a bit of traveling and that was a nice car to travel in but we have also a Ford Probe and that's better to get around town in because the Thunderbird takes a lot of gas
[speaker002:] uh-huh yeah um-hum
[speaker001:] but um the reason we're stuck on Fords I guess is because I used to sell Fords and so we're kind of stuck on that kind of a car but I really like um that kind of car myself but
[speaker002:] well we we've been looking at just about everything I guess because we really don't need a car we just sort of want the luxury of buying a new car and um
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] I don't know we were today we were looking at Lexuses and we keep going back to Cadillacs
[speaker001:] oh do you
[speaker002:] and looking at those and then you don't know if you wanna spend thirty thousand dollars and buy a new car or whether you wanna buy uh like a ninety one Cadillac a ninety or ninety one for you know twenty or nineteen or fifteen you can get them
[speaker001:] yeah um-hum yeah
[speaker002:] fairly cheap compared to buying a brand new one and the new Lexus that that they have that you you pay sticker price for those
[speaker001:] a Lexus yeah uh-huh and isn't that neat though that is a neat car don't you think
[speaker002:] yes yes we we were we were all in them today but you know when it comes to oops
[speaker001:] were you
[speaker002:] you know do you wanna spend about thirty thousand dollars and uh it'd probably be a little over that with the tax so that's that's really where
[speaker001:] right oh I know
[speaker002:] where we are or should we just buy you know a little Volkswagen we've right we've you know the one of those Cabriolets I guess they're called uh it's a convertible it's sort of like you know square in the back
[speaker001:] yeah and get around town uh-huh yeah I like those
[speaker002:] but the the selling point I guess that that I or it has to pass my test I'm I'm short and I need to sit in the seat see if I can get the seat high enough to see over the steering wheel like I like to see
[speaker001:] are you shorter
[speaker002:] yeah I'm about five two
[speaker001:] are you oh then that's yeah
[speaker002:] and to make sure the seat belt doesn't hit me in the neck that it comes really over the shoulder and not up around your neck so
[speaker001:] yeah it's got to be a comfortable car
[speaker002:] right well it can be comfortable but those things not all the seat belts are gonna work that way nor can I get all the seats up high enough
[speaker001:] right uh-huh
[speaker002:] to do that so uh so on those we just we just forget about
[speaker001:] yeah that certainly helps
[speaker002:] and we've been looking at cars with leather seats but uh
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] I don't know this is a new experience for us just just mainly because my uh my mother had died which meant that we were coming into some money that we could
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] splurge and buy a car but but yet it's difficult to do though when you're not used to it so that's why we're we're out uh
[speaker001:] oh and isn't that nice yeah
[speaker002:] sort of doing this and uh
[speaker001:] yeah buying a car is hard you never know for sure if you're getting a good deal
[speaker002:] yeah well we've always bought used cars before and they haven't been very expensive um so this is just just a new
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] a new thing you know we've had vans we've had a new van and you know some other another new car that that wasn't used but the prices are what
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] used to buy a house for
[speaker001:] yeah oh I know because we came down here and you know and well you know from down here it but price of housing is a lot different
[speaker002:] um-hum I bet
[speaker001:] but the but the price of our house up in Aberdeen was as much as some cars and it's like you know oh my goodness
[speaker002:] um-hum right it's hard to adjust to it and and you just don't want to really
[speaker001:] no because it's like this thing it moves moves and could be wrecked and that's like we you know get a house for this and uh it just blows our mind um but
[speaker002:] um-hum that's right uh-huh well I hope you enjoy your car uh we we looked at Thunderbirds um I guess maybe about a couple weeks ago we seem to do this every
[speaker001:] oh yeah uh-huh um-hum
[speaker002:] every weekend we've been out looking for for we still haven't bought yet so I guess every every month we don't buy we save more money than we we're just shopping shopping is free until you buy
[speaker001:] yeah that's right interest  yeah well that's great you know because you might as well get what you want you know
[speaker002:] yeah but it would be it would be nice our son works for EDS and and we could use his um
[speaker001:] oh really
[speaker002:] discount that he gets through General Motors
[speaker001:] yes that's right
[speaker002:] except uh we were only out looking at General Motors cars except Cadillac and we're not looking at the at the new ones anyway and in the Cadillacs and they're not using they're not getting um discounts on the new
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] Cadillacs that we're looking would would be looking at to begin with so
[speaker001:] uh-huh are you in Dallas
[speaker002:] yes Plano
[speaker001:] yeah so am I are you looking at the Crest or Crest
[speaker002:] um-hum yeah we were just got back from there yeah that was our last stop about you know about eight thirty I said oh we can always swing around Crest so there we go and we're swinging around yes we've gotten two cars two used cars from Crest
[speaker001:] you did uh-huh and we got our I oh you and good
