Some Things to Write About

Life is beginning to show some signs of.. of... LIFE around here!
I applied for a job at Semiahmoo Resort on Thursday. I said I was interested in something "behind the scenes" such as kitchen helper or grounds keeper. The HR specialist asked me to come back next Tuesday for an interview with one of the chefs. That's encouraging!
If I get a job however, we will need to get a second car. With that in mind, I started surfing the web for used cars. 'Guess what I found? Possibly the car of my dreams, that's what! It's a LEXUS ! It's not a new, or nearly new Lexus. In fact, it's a 1994 Lexus. I ran a CARFAX report on it which came up clean. Unfortunately, the dealer is asking about $1,300.00 more than what Edmund's rates its "True Market Value". The dealer is asking $5935. Edmunds says it's worth $4648. (NADA says average retail is $5100/ high retail is $6000) I'm going to go look at it this morning. if I like it, I'll offer $4650. If it is exceptionally clean, well appointed and well cared for, I may go as high as $5000. That's still a lot of dough for a 13 year-old car, but hey... IT'S A LEXUS!! They probably won't sell me the car for that price, but what the heck? Easy come, easy go.
I'll make another entry when I get back home.
