Hi Brad

Don't be sorry, this just shows that you are a warm blooded male/female like the rest of us.:) Buying a car is an emotional thing, and that where the problem starts. Finding the car of your dreams can easily turn into a nightmare instead.(Ask me how I know...) The hardest things to do is to treat it for what it is, a used car. I often try to picture the 8 I'm inspecting as a Ford, Yugo, Fiat ________(Insert crap car of choice here) instead of the beauty it is, to try to distance myself from it emotionally. It usually help me :) It's better losing a "deal" than buying a lemon.


Carl
PS I'm glad yours turned out to be a nice one.:)
