Part C - Evening
Chapter 4: Hummer
At dinner, Joe said, "What you think about going hunting for a new car? After we are done here."
Sweetie, what are you thinking about buying?"
What you think about a Hummer? Since we can afford it now."
Oh yea, that does sound like a good idea. You know, we should check into renting a truck for tomorrow to move everything out there."
That would be a every good idea. But, it might make more sense to look at buying a smaller one. Something we don't need a CDL for, but with both properties, we will probably need something larger than a pickup."
I paid the bill and we headed over to the Hummer dealer and looked around.
A salesperson came up to us and said, "Hi I'm Ken, may I help you find something here?"
Shirley said, "We are looking for a Hummer with dark tinted windows and loaded. We plan on paying for it by check, too."
He showed us three different ones, then on the fourth one, I said, "That's the one I'm looking for, just the color I like." It was Dark Blue tinted in silver.
We all headed inside to a booth, Ken said, "We are selling it right now for $36,000.00. Is that price right for you?"
Shirley said, "I was thinking more like $30,000.00." I added that we were trading in the car we drove in with.
He went back and talked to his boss, then came back and said, "The lowest offer my boss will allow is $31,500.00."
I said, "That's great, we'll take it." Then I wrote him the check and he took it to his manager to be approved while he and I filled out the paperwork on the Hummer. When we were done, he found out the check had cleared and he went and got our Hummer prepped and gassed-up for me before we left in it.
After the three of us arrived home, I saw 3 high school boys outside playing basketball, "Hey guys, I'm Joe. We want to know if you would like to make some money tomorrow?"
Sure, but what do we have to do?"
We are moving 3 apartments from here to Wilson, how about $100 each?"
You have a deal, what time are you wanting us?"
How about 7:30? That way we can get done early."
Shirley called the u-haul dealer and arranged a truck for us, so we could get moved quickly. Later we relaxed and watched TV until bedtime.
