I WRITE THIS DAILY DOGGIE - AND TODAY'S IS ABOUT MY EXPERIENCE WITH YOUR SALESMAN. WE ARE A 501 C 3 CHARITY- SO IT IS MY JOB TO PROTECT EVERY PENNY. WE NEED 2 RAV4'S-AND THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED...
******
BEST $40 I EVER SPENT..... VENTING TIME----
TO BE AN OLD LADY TRYING TO BUY A CAR IS AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE--- BECAUSE OF A LOT OF YOU CP's( 1000 CAMERA PEOPLE )AND A LOT OF OTHER REASONS, I TRIED TO BUY 2 RAV4s AT TOYOTA'S AND TURN IN TEH FORD EXPIDITION- AS FAR AS I KNOW A CREAM PUFF WITH ONE SCRATCH ON THE LOWER DOOR..+ SO A VERY PLEASENT CAR SALESMAN "INHERITED" ME FROM THEIIR SYSTEM SOMEHOW.. NICE SMILING GUY- jim.
I DROVE THE EXPIDITION ( THE 42 FOOT LONG 3 MILES PER GALLON EXPIDITION) FOR THE FIRST TIME- SALESMAN "JIM" LOOKED IT OVER AND WENT AWAY TO GET TEH CAR FAX AND TELL ME WHAT IT WAS WORTH...
COMING BACK WITH A PAPER WITH THE CAR FAX LOGO AT THE TOP, CARFAX HIGHLIGHTS--10 LINES-- 2 HIGHLIGHTED
ONE ODOMETER PROBLEM INDICATED AND ACCIDENT REPORTED TO CARFAX
I ASKED WHY MY VIN # WAS NOT ON THE REPORT- HE SAID COMPUTER PROBLEM.. BUT HE WOULD HAVE TO OFFER ME A REDUCED PRICE BECAUSE PEOPLE WOULD SEE THE ODOMETER COMMENT AND NOT PAY FULL PRICE.. I KNOW COMPUTER LITERATE JANINE WOULD HAVE SEEN THAT AND MENTIONED IT..-- AND ALSO THE" 5 OWNER COMMENT" -- SO I SMELLED A RAT--- BUT SMILED AND WENT ON-- AND TOOK THE INFO ON THE 2 RAV4'S AND SAID I WOULD BE BACK WITH TEH TITLE AND CHECK... HE WAS THRILLED..HOWEVER--- I CAME HOME AND DECIDED TO LOOK IT UP- MOSTLY FOR THE GENERIC EXPERIE3NCE-- I HAVE NEVER USED CARFAX BEFORE--- AND IT ASKED FOR $39.99 -- I BALKED... BUT OPTED TO SPEND IT-- AND BEHOLD THERE WAS NO PROBLEM ODOMETER -- 5 OWNERS OR AN ACCIDENT REPORT IN THE CARFAX REPORT WITH MY VIN NUMBER ON IT. CLEAN CREAMPUFF...
AT HOME( SDP OFFICE) --I WAS JOINED BY SEVERAL OTHER ASTUTE COMPUTER FOLKS AND WE TRIED TO GET ANY OF THE CAR FAX REPORTS TO LOOK LIKE WHAT HE HAD GIVEN ME. WITH NO SUCCESS.. SO TO BE TOTALLY ACCURATE I WILL TRY MONDAY TO STOP IN AND SEE THE MANAGER OF THAT DEALERESHIP- AND LET THEM SHOW ME HOW THEY ENDED UP WITH A CAR FAX LOGO ON AN INACCURATE REPORT WHICH WAS ADVANTAGEOUS TO THEM.
I COULD QUIT THERE-- BUT.... TO PROTECT ALL OTHER LITTLE OLD LADIES JUST TRYING FOR AN HONEST DEAL- I AM THINKING CAR FAX MIGHT NOT LIKE THIS DEALER USING THE TRUST THEY HAVE BUILT IN THE ACCURACY OF TEH CAR FAX LOGO TO DEVALUE OR I SUPPOSE OVERRVALUE A CAR USING THEIR REPUTATION WITH A CONVENIENT CUT AND PASTE....
BUT THEN AGAIN........MAYBE TEH TOYOTA MANAGER WILL BE ABLE TO EXPLAIN IT TO ME ON MONDAY.. IN WHICH CASE I WILL GLADLY WEAR EGG ON MY FACE.
I AM SENDING HIM A COPY OF THIS DAILY DOGGIE...
I AM ALSO HOPING--- OF THE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHO READ THIS NONSENSE DAILY , SOMEONE WILL SEND ME AN EMAIL SAYING THEIR UNCLE IS VICE PRESIDENT OF OPERATIONS AT CARFAX-

CUT AND PASTE FROM OUR FAVORITE RECIPIENT BELLA-- WITH GEORGE
****
ANOTHER GREAT DAY IN N.H.
WE WENT TO OUR FAVORITE RESTAURANT FOR LUNCH UP HERE THE MOAT MOUNTAIN BREWERY. ONE OF OUR FAVORITE OF ALL TIME. AMAZING FOOD AND BEER. ONE OF THE WAITRESSES HAS BEEN FOLLOWING BELLA AND GEORGE’S STORY FOR SOME TIME AND COMES TO OUR TABLE WITH AN ENVELOPE WITH CASH SAYING SHE HAS BEEN MEANING TO SEND THIS TO US FOR THE FUNDRAISER BUT HERE WE ARE. SUCH AN AMAZING PLACE! GREAT PEOPLE. THANK YOU FRIEND! SEE YOU GUYS ALL SOON. GEORGE WAS. .. OF COURSE... THE PERFECT SERVICE DOG.
THEN WE WENT OVER TO ATTITASH WHERE WE OWN A TIME SHARE AND TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THE POOL AND HOT TUB OUTSIDE. HOPING IT WOULD HELP BELLAS JOINTS BUT SHE WAS STILL SORE AND TIRED. I THINK THAT IS THE NORMAL FOR HER SADLY NOW. I WOULD DO ANYTHING TO TAKE THE PAIN AWAY. SHE IS STILL THE STRONGEST AND BRAVEST 14 YEAR OLD I KNOW!
SOME GOOD NEWS IS I HEARD TODAY THE ELEVATOR IS FIXED AT THE SCHOOL. SO TUESDAY HOPEFULLY BELLA AND GEORGE WILL GET ON WITH OUR TO MUCH ANXIETY. SHE WON’T BE IN SCHOOL MONDAY BECAUSE SHE HAS AN APPOINTMENT IN BOSTON. AND HOPEFULLY WE WILL HEAR FROM THE ORTHO TEAM ABOUT HER HIP.
BUT FOR NOW WE WILL CONTINUE TO ENJOY OUR TIME WITH FRIENDS AWAY. THANK YOU ALL FOR CHECKING IN AND SPREADING THE LOVE.
LOVE BELLA AND GEORGE
