Times Are Good

Needless to say, times are good for those with cash in their pockets. Case in point, my wife and I purchased two new cars over the past few weeks - a Buick Enclave & Chevy Mailibu - at a substantial "fire sale" prices. In fact, the deals we received were so significant that I actually felt bad for the dealership. In complete contrast with other car buying experiences, the people we purchased the vehicles from went over and beyond what we've ever seen to make sure we were more than satisfied (i.e. free oil changes, weekly car washes, extended warrantees, free accessories, etc.).

The clear upside from all of the economic upheaval that we've seen is that businesses are again appreciative to have us as customers and those with cash have the opportunity to get some great deals. While no one wants to spend money right now in such uncertain times, if you've been putting off some of these big ticket purchases for awhile, you may want to go shopping. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by what you find.
