For me, being a true starving student (yet somehow still gained the freshman 15 last year), purchasing items I want rather than need is very rare. After re-newing my contract at Copper Mountain Mine, I realized that I NEED a new car for this summer. After recognizing that I needed a car, I began thinking about all the different types of cars, however not neccesarily the makes and models I could afford. I thought about my dream car
The Audi R8
However I know that, with my budget, I could only afford a
1992 Honda Accord
For information, I searched many used car websites for good deals. Then I consulted my uncle, who is the manager of Surrey Honda in the used division. He was able to help evaluate my alternatives by giving me a few options other than the ’92 Accord. After checking out a few other types of cars, due to my budget and need for good fuel economy (I will be driving over 800km every week), we both decided on the same ’92 Honda Accord EXR. I purchased the car for a great price of $2,500. After purchasing the car I was ecstatic, not regretting my decision at all. The only disappointment was, my car didn’t have an “R8” on the back.
Oh well, maybe in a couple years…
