After weeks of the harrowing ordeal that is buying a fucking car, I bought a fucking car! It was the last pre-purchase inspection I could afford, so despite it having an oil leak (The dealer is paying to get fixed), it's otherwise in good shape, and I'm not about to look a gift horse in the mouth. IT'S LITERALLY GREEN! AND A HATCHBACK! The car of my dreams!
I was able to negotiate a lower price, so with 2.1k down (thanks for the loan, grandpa!) the loan is only for about 6.9k, at 6.6 APR for 3 years, because I am a god. (Read: Paid off my major credit card with my student loans, so this semester is about to hurt)
Can't help but think of this goofy ass vine: [you know the one]
Unfortunately this means I have to work full-time while finishing up my degree because I have gas, a car loan, a grandpa loan, as well as car insurance to pay for. And in just a few months, my own goddamn health insurance. Getting old is awesome, but it also sucks.
