Introducing "Ms. Car"!!!

The lease on my wife's 2001 VW New Beetle is finally up in January so we have been keeping our ear out for specials and incentives over the past few weeks in order to make sure we didn't have to take what we could get at the last minute.

I am delighted to announce today that she got a car that she loves - the Saab 93 "Arc" Turbo - at $3303 below invoice and 1.5% interest on a three year lease. It is a smart looking automobile and she looks great in it. There are tons of bells and whistles including power memory seats, 6 CD in-dash changer, garage door opener built-in to the auto-dimming rear-view mirror with digital compass and many others.

I would like to give an extra-special shout-out to Robert at Saab of Sherman Oaks in California for my wife's best car-buying experience ever (mine was a few months ago when I got my new car, but this wasn't far behind). They were great, they didn't waste our time, and I would recommend them very highly.

In my last post I mentioned that I was looking forward to writing some software for my Smart Phone, and I re-created my automobile car lease calculator that I wrote for my Pocket PC (read the article here). It was pretty sweet to have that thing on my cell phone and I was able to plug the numbers in and see if they were taking advantage of us. If anyone would like the source code please post a comment here.
