Got car

We knew that the blue Ford Explorer from Al's Auto in Nederland had to be ours. Why didn't we just buy it that first day? We looked at just one other car - a white 1998 Suburu Outback with 190,000 miles on it. We knew the instant we put our heads into the heavily dog scented vehicle with a cracked windshield that it wasn't for us. Al had replaced everything on the Explorer and had driven it himself for a couple thousand miles. The Suburu dealer had done nothing and it showed. Alex was disgusted as he drove it. As we were leaving the dealership that had the Suburu, we told the the stereotypical used car salesman that if he would fix up just a few things that the car might sell. At that point he ignored the $2700 price tag and said it could be ours for $1000. That just disgusted Alex even more. Al told us later that the '97-99 Suburus all had bad engines. Al really knew his stuff. As we returned our rental car that was costing us over $100 per day we were happy with our new purchase. I hope our intuition about the honesty and care of Al's auto and our fabulous Ford are good and we'll have a good summer in American made quality.
