The Car buying experience:
This was the first time I had this car buying experience. And that too a new BMW!!!When my daughter and me asked my hubby if we could buy a Toyota Corolla, he had said no to it and we were okay with it. But all of a sudden , on a Saturday morning when he gave 2 brochures of a BMW!! to my daughter and asked her to choose a color because we were buying it next week, I just could’nt believe it and thought he was joking about it.
I was thinking of asking if we won a lottery, I sprang out of the bed, looked at the pictures and the features of a BMW on the brochure and put it off thinking it’s definitely a joke and felt happy to have held the brochure in my hand at that time.
Days passed and one day, my husband took me and my daughter to the BMW Fairfax showroom to check the models out there. My joy knew no bounds, stepping into the showroom, seeing the amazing line of BMW’s in there, talking to the sales person, all these were such thrilling and I still could’nt believe it that we were actually deciding on buying the German engineered powerful Sedan, the 328i series.
When we went on a test drive, my husband drove and we could experience the power and smoothness of the drive. We compared, thought of buying a second hand one with 10K miles on it, but then for just a thousand dollars more, we were getting a brand new one. So we got back home, thought and thought over and over again, read the blogs online, the car buying tips,etc and got a lot of information. We thought that it was good to experience the high end BMW than the Corolla as we could definitely afford one and thought that it would be good to enjoy this in our lifetime. So it was decided.
We got quotes, offers, incentives, etc and finally went to the best price offering Passport BMW of Maryland. Brandon Kim, our salesperson was extremely good and offered us such a deal, we’re thankful to him definitely for having saved us atleast 3-4K dollars. We completed the paperwork the previous day of the delivery, shared the news with all my family and friends and I was overjoyed and also stressed b’coz of the whole running, researching and overwhelming experience.
We took delivery on Nov 3rd 2011, an auspicious day according to the Hindu calendar and drove home from the showroom in our new Black Sapphire Metallic 328i Sedan –the BMW, a brand new one!!! It was loaded with all awesome features and we drove to the temple for the car puja and enjoyed the car and driving the whole weekend and prayed for it to bring us Good Luck and prosperity. The pictures were shared among close family and friends and of course on facebook and we thanked God for this wholeheartedly.
A very nice experience indeed!! So, we drive on it everyday and thank God for this luxury.
