Cheryl's new car

Used car lots do not open on a Sunday here, however, all of them are accessible. We went out for a drive on a sunny, Sunday evening to look for a car. We drove along Lindberg Bvld which seems to have a lot of dealers fairly close together. You could drive around most of the car lots, & despite there being no gates or anything, most of the cheaper cars were left unlocked.

Cheryl sat in quite a few cars & decided that she would quite like a Ford Focus. I found a hatchback at a dealership on Manchester Road, so the next night we went to have a look at it. It was a bright yellow 3-door which Cheryl initially thought wouldn't be that practical as Beth isn't old enough to legally sit in the front seat. The salesperson pointed out a silver 4-door sedan that was the same price & had come in at the same time. We took it out for a test-drive & it was quite nice. Just as a comparison we also test drove the 3-door. This had a sportier interior & seemed to drive better. It was also obvious that Cheryl preferred this car, but she was still convinced that the silver car would be more practical.

It didn't take to to convince Cheryl that as she preferred the 3-door, that was the car that we should get. As soon as she said yes, I put I deposit on the car. We went back on the Friday afternoon to pick it up, so now Cheryl has her own set of wheels - hooray!
