After many hours of think'n an' research....here's the deal.....I'm keeping the POS "that jeep" and repair as needed.
Me an' the OFM Barney was sit'n outside the Mexican Restaurant after we had filled our bellies with a delicious meal, right after a great round of golf, an' we got to talk'n bout that beautiful 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee I was gonna buy versus keep'n my 1997 POS Jeep. But I had already decided to keep "that jeep" the night before. Call me a cheap bastard if'n ya want to, but this is what I'm gonna do.
Ya see, I'm not into fancy bright shiny almost brand spank'n new stuff like Mr an' Mrs Jones next door. A little Turtle wax, some paint here an' there, a new set of tires, maybe take the spare tire off'n the roof, "that jeep" will look almost as good as new one. Although, that spare tire up there on the roof helps my find "that jeep" in a crowded park'n lot.
Lost my "little red bronco" in a Walmart park'n lot one time. Hunt all over the place for it. Bout the time I was gonna go back to the store to call the cops, there was my "little red bronco" way to hell over there.
As far as fix'n stuff what might break, I got people to do that kind of stuff. In the mean time, I'll be doing a little TLC to "that jeep" an' be just as happy as if'n I had me a brand spank'n new used Jeep. An' save me a bundle of pocket change in the process.
Now there's always the possibility I might just up an' change my mind. Do ya think the guy might come down bout $1500 on his ask'n price? That would just bout do it for me.

Of course he will when it doesn't sell! You know he has it listed at his wishing price! I would tell him that all I can afford is 60 hundred dollar bills if the jeep checks out not to be hiding problems!
ReplyDeleteHmmm Extra money! Play more golf. Eat more fajitas. Now there is a great plan.
ReplyDeleteWell, if there is something you know how to do...it is to fix stuff! You are also very fortunate to have a good supporting cast of family and friends to help you make the needed repairs.
ReplyDeleteI, on the other hand know "nothing" about fixing stuff, so I would have to go with the newer car and ditch the POS.
Just keep on fixin and you have a great "that Jeep", thats what wed do
ReplyDeleteHeh heh I like Barney's plan.... we drive old cars and keep on repairing em, sure beats having car payments for something shiny... just to get it dirty?
