Defeated

That's how I feel.... defeated. After all the crying and being angry all I want is to ball up and forget it ever happened. I'm referring to the car dealer situation. After more troubles, phone calls, and trying to figure out what I'm entitled to I have realized that the best thing I can do is just accept their pityful offer of a refund and lose $1,200 of my $5,000 down payment. That money was supposed to get us a reliable car. Instead it got us a heaping headache and a car that has done nothing but disappoint us and a relationship with a dealer that has been unapologetic. I've pretty much thrown in the towel. We tried everything, reporting them to Consumer Affairs only to find out that Consumer Affairs could only investigate the "repair" aspect of our complaint, we've tried negotiating with the owner and general manager of the dealership, and we even filed a complaint with BBB and the DMV. I also learned that California Lemon Law doesn't include used vehicles. The biggest loop hole in the history of loop holes. This whole experiance was supposed to be exciting and fulfilling in the fact that we got the car we wanted at the price and payment we wanted. Why us? Why did we have to go through this? At the same time, our cell phones refuse to hold a charge and while Omar's is under a warranty, warranties don't include the battery. Just the phone. Where have we gone wrong? I just need something to go right in our lives. Something positive, something to uplift us, something to re assure us that we are going to be okay.


The only positive things to happen in a while, were that I was able to spend a little quality time with my younger sister Mariah. Her and I are 9 years apart and have never spent more then a couple hours together. So this past weekend while she was on spring break, I picked her up and we spent Friday and Saturday catching up on our lives.




Here's Ava in the car, smiling away even though it won't start :(
