So we ordered our new car just before New Years Day. If they had to get us one from Japan, the wait would have been two months. The sales guy assured us there was one in the pipeline somewhere that he could get for us, "by the end of January."
Not a problem. To get the model/colour we wanted, we would have been happy to invest in a two-month delay, so anything shorter would be a bonus.
Suddenly, the right car popped up at another dealership, and they wanted us to buy it there. I contacted our sales guy, and he went after it. After a bit of dealer infighting, the second dealership is swapping it with a car at the first dealership. It's nice to be wanted.
I figured that would mean we could go get it next Saturday, but Helen asked in a text about tomorrow. The sales guy said if they can get it from the other place in time we could. Sweet.
Our two month car, which was going to be a one-month car, is going to be ours either tomorrow or next weekend, making it a half-month car.
And it even comes with a full tank of gas...
