went and looked at a car yesterday that i think i'd like to buy, but the dealer wants 1/4 more than it's worth (price: 8700; Kelley Blue Book value: 5500-7000). I don't really know what to do because i've never negotiated a used car deal before. i'm really afraid of having to walk because they won't come down enough, because i really need a new car.

Just present your research and talk them down. I know car shopping sucks but that seems way overpriced and there are plenty of reasonably priced cars out there if this one doesn't work out. The Blue Book is a credible source so I'm sure they'll understand.

yeah I agree with Wes, if you show him that and it's all the same specs and mileage how could he not bring it down? (unless he's a total dick) Definitely not worth losing a couple of thousand to avoid a possibly awkward conversation!

Yeah and just like with music gear, he could be overshooting his asking price on purpose to leave a little wiggle room for negotiation while not undercutting the blue book value.

met the girlfriend's old friend from back home yesterday and she was really flirty with me, kinda weirded me out. Who gives sexy eyes to their friend's boyfriend right in front of them? I probably shouldn't bring it up to her and cause strain on their friendship, though.

3some?

haha coincidentally the friend has many stories of exploits of that variety.

also see if you can get a carfax report, or receipts for the work he's had done to it. That may at least account for why he's asking more, although $1700-$3000 more seems like a LOT. Just a thought

If it's any consolation, I woke up with Duran Duran in my head for some reason.

Edit: NOW I have Duran Duran AND Metallica stuck in my head....

part of the problem is that my credit is HORRIBLE and thus i have to go to the shadier used car dealer in town who self-finances.

Project manager just assigned me a new project. It should take a minimum of 1 week to do on it's own. Its due in 3 days. I have to finish 2 other projects before I can get started on it.

I regret flipping my Mini. I got a Fuck Mountain but I still only use the Mini side. Time to flip the Fuck Mountain to fund a Mini.

I hate my GAS and the bad decisions it causes.

I also hate that I waited so long to get my school shit started.

And suddenly I want money.


I've been feeling oddly sad. It doesn't like depression, I know what that feels like. This feels like nostalgia, but sadder. Like I've lost something from my past I can't get back and no matter how hard I wish or try to remember, I can't figure out what it is.

I could really use a hug right about now.

Dude I know exactly the feeling you're describing, except I usually realize what I lost.

Graduating college is the worst feeling, like you have to do it (or leave eventually), but it sucks and so does the so called 'real world.'
