Thu, May 7
Liquidated Kyle’s Selected account to purchase a car; $4180.48 as of 5/6.
Applied for Compliance Coordinator position.
Bought Kyle’s car; white Hyundai Accent L with approx. 63,000 miles for $3,500. Initially they wanted about $4,150; sticker price of $3,494 + delivery fee of $498 and taxes of $160. Chris and I had already discussed that we only wanted to spend between $3000 & $3500. Chris and Michael were already out of the dealership when I stopped to talk to the salesman and his manager to both let them know that we were going to continue to look and to ask where the car might be. (They brought it up from Colorado Springs for us to look at.) The manager asked what needed to happen for us to go home with the car, so I told him and they made it happen! My very first negotiation (ha ha.)
Watched Survivor.

Firestone said Kyle’s car looks good. They think the 60,000 mile check up was done recently. They listed a couple of things that could be done. Depending on how much we receive from Kyle’s UTMA, we may go ahead and do a couple things.
