Hi Folks, Finally I get rid of my Daewoo Lanos, I am not saying I don't like it, that little 1.6L small car got me through the toughest time, at when I have only couple of hundred in pocket and deeply depress about my future, I drove that little Daewoo and lived like a dog, she is my hero. The only thing is, Daewoo is out of business, there is alomst no component supplied or very expensive, she was assembled by cheap material you can feel her pain on the driving, she also leaks cooling liquid and her engine light is always ON, she was hit twice at the rear bumper so hard that the trunk can't operated properly, for almost half a year there is no CD palyer nor radio so the only thing you can hear is the wheel rattling... But, she is my first car, I mean, she will be replaced by another~~~

Here is the story about Nissan Altima, eventually I figured I need another car, as I start to worry about my safety, I need to drive 17 miles every morning, 17 miles after work, I need a bigger car to protect me from crash, as I heard the radio every morning there is at least one accident on the road, I am FRAGILE. At first I came up with the idea of buying a new car, so I get an estimate for Honda Civic LX, it is about 16000 dollar, which does not include documentation fee, tax, destination fee etc. I am not good at math, but think about it for 2 seconds, I quit, for following reason:
1, It would be patriotic for American to consumer a car at this tough time, but I am not American, and I hate Japanese;
2, I would not be as stupid as American to trust the dealer, it would take me at least one month to finish the bargaining with car dealer, I don't have time;
3, I don't have a house, I don't have Garage, I would not take the risk to park A NEW CAR on street;
4, I am living on my own feet, I will probably be living like a dog if I buy Honda, I am a family man;

So, quit the idea of new car, here I am, searching every car sale post on craigslist.org, first, I kept my eye on Volkswagan Jetta, Passat, after I test drive a Jetta V6, which is a wondeful driving esperience by the way, but it is gas guzzler, and the gas price is increasing... Then I pass Ford, Chevy, Chrysler, God knows if they can survive this year, then leave me the choice of Toyota, Honda, Nissan. That's the story of how I get my Nissan.

The total time frame:
I start to quote Honda Civiv on May 5th, 2009, and I get Nissan Altima at May 11th, 2009
If I really want to do something, I will be really quick.
