I didn't sleep well last night. I was obsessing over what would happen when we went to get the truck. Ellen woke up at 5:30 to pee. She woke me up, and I couldn't get back to sleep. The alarm went off at 7:30. We got up, did pet stuff, and had breakfast. Then we went to the dealership.
When we got there Joey (the service writer) told me that they weren't going to charge me the $8K. However, we had to wait while the service manager "worked the numbers". After about an hour I met with him and some lady (actually a dike). They tried to get me to sell them the truck. They offered me $15K saying they had a buyer. They offered me $25K on a trade in (which was just adding the existing incentive on 2018 trucks). Of course I told them no. They said it was a good deal because my truck was only worth $8K. I still said no. Finally they said they needed some more time to "work the numbers".
After a little more wait they said they'd settle for $5,200. That's about $1,000 more than it should have been, but I didn't want to argue. We did the deal. The whole time Joey was bitching about the $8K injectors. I told him new OEM was on the web for $3K a set. I later found out that they put in re-manufactured ones, which are about $2K a set. He still maintained "gm parts .com" wanted $1K a piece.
We went home. At home Melissa was putting in the dimmer switch for the living room fan. She was bored. We surfed and talked for awhile and I ordered a water heater. Then we had lunch, left overs and sandwiches.
We took Lucy with us when we went to Central Market. We stopped at the dog bakery first. Unfortunately they are selling the business.
We bought the makings for a shrimp and salmon dinner along with a white cake for Melissa. Then it was a quick stop at the post office and home.
When we got home Melissa and I surfed, John worked on the light in his van, and Ellen put the shrimp and fish on the Traeger. It was a great meal.
After dinner we talked until about 9:30. Then they left and we surfed for awhile.
