Happiness: The story of a truly happy experience as a consumer.
When I was 18 years old, I was depending most of the time of my family to take me to the places I needed to go. For that reason, I needed to have my own transportation, before starting studies at ECU University. I decided to take more hours in my job to save more money to buy a reliable car. My dream car is a Honda Civic, color gray and with a sports look. I prefer to buy and not to have a lease. My parents have a very strong brand loyalty towards Honda, because their cars are reliable, easy to maintain and durable.
I prepared a six months’ action plan to save money for my car. I was hoping for a new one but stayed open to a used car as my parents suggested. I did an internet …show more content…
Then we arrived to Crown Honda. The lot was relatively smaller than the other dealers we had visited. A young salesman approached us and after introducing himself he asked what we were looking for and for what purpose we wanted the car. He has my first name so we kind of joke for a few minutes and then I gave him the details of what I was looking for. He actually made a recommendation of a few cars based on my needs and the amount of miles I was going to put on it just to get to ECU. He also stayed within budget. The colors they had available were not what I was looking for but he helped me understand that I needed to be flexible and stay focused on the purpose for what I needed the car. I wanted to buy a reliable car that was within my budget and on time to the start of the semester. He explained all the features in the cars we saw. I decided to examine in more detail a 2012 Honda Civic EX. It was within the mileage range I was looking for but still a bit over my budget but he talked with the Manager and I was able to get it for $12,500. They worked a great financing plan so I didn’t have to give as much money down as I had planned so, I used part of that money to by some seat covers and change the floor mats. They processed all the paperwork real fast but by the time everything was done it was long past 6:00PM. We went back home and I took my parents to dinner in my car. I was very grateful for their help and advice. They told me how proud they were since I worked hard to make the plan, stayed on track to save the money and bought a car that looks good and fills my transportation needs without going over budget. At the end this was a real great experience for me as a
