Hello Beautiful, Sharon,

We were car shopping last week and found a car we loved, one that checked all our boxes, at a nearby dealership. We test-drove it and were hooked.

Then came all the tactics. They kept us waiting for long periods, shoved documents in our faces and then whisked them away, sprang unexpected add-ons, and assured us it was all normal. There was a lot of pressure and a lot of “trust us, we know best.”

I got hot and sweaty and felt completely on edge. My calm, clear mind was nowhere to be seen.

And isn’t that what happens to all of us sometimes?

Challenges come. Pressure, fear, or overwhelm can knock us out of our calm and centered state.

But that’s okay. We can get back.

Despite their urgency for us to act and sign right then, I knew I didn’t want to make a decision from a hyped-up state. I wanted to make the right choice that would bless us for years to come.

So I took time out, went outside, did self-hypnosis, and called my sister. It took a while to reach her, but I let them wait. 

When I finally reached her, it was a breath of fresh air. She helped me step back, see clearly.

We ended up walking.

And though I was worried in the moment that our perfect car was gone and we might never find what we wanted, I am SO glad we left.

At first, I felt violated by the way the dealership operated. But I was able to leave that behind and focus on the positives.

I don’t regret the experience. My husband and I seldom make big purchases like this. And we got bamboozled for awhile. I reminded myself: That’s how we learn. We have experiences.

We got to test-drive the car we wanted.

We learned which edition of the model we liked.

We did more research because of the scare tactics the salesman used to try to get us to buy their warranty.

And from that research, we realized we had a much wider range of years we could consider. We also learned more about what a Mazda CPO rating means and about Carfax. All very helpful.

We changed how we shopped. We would only go to dealerships with a strong reputation for transparency, honesty, and fairness. I decided I was willing to travel and widen our search for the right car.

Consequently, we ended up with a much better car, lower mileage, an extended warranty, and a better price, from a wonderful dealership.

And I am off this week to pick it up.

There is no better gift than feeling good in the now moment.

In joy,

Sharon
