Last Thursday night, I spent some time on the phone with my sister-in-law and her girlfriend.  Their reason for calling….they are car shopping.  My SIL’s girlfriend is in dire need of a new set of wheels.  Her current car, a 1999 Chevy Lumina with 173,000 miles has definitely seen better days and is in need of some expensive repairs.  Instead of sticking money in the car, they decided that they would purchase a used/new to them vehicle and they were seeking my assistance.

I don’t know if you’re aware, but my dad raised me like a boy in some aspects in life and I’m actually pretty good at the whole car shopping and negotiating process.

They definitely called the right person!

I immediately turned to the Internet and began looking for them.  My first stop on the web was Lynch Chevy serving Milwaukee to see what they had to offer in used vehicles.  Their inventory was quite nice, and I sent a few options to the girls for them to look over.

On Saturday, Alex did some running for me to check out some used vehicles for the girls as well and even took a few for a test drive.  

I’m hoping that after they look over the options I sent them in addition to all of the research they’ve done that making this huge life decision will be easier for them and that they will be able to stick to their budget and still have a car that they will be happy with in the end.

Have you had to make a huge life decision lately?
