Waiting, Waiting, Bargaining....Swedes and Cars....

Hej People!

Well, its been a week or so, but I did NOT buy the Peugeot 106 as I didnt feel it was worth the price they were asking for. Something like 1300 bucks or so...not bad...but some little problems things that needed to be fixed.

I also have some stories of other cars....


VW POLO #1, TRAVEL TO NYKÖPING

I "employed" my buddy Ovi to come with me to Nyköping and check out a VW Polo which was labeled for 9500kr (negotiable and cheaper with quick purchase). I also called the guy and he said to come out and check it out and that he was really flexible.
After checking it out, not that bad of a car as well, I tried to bargain a bit. His Idea of bargaining....500 kr. For those of you who dont know what 500 kr is..it is about 70 dollars.
I basically told him that it costs me more to take a shit in this country, and we were out the door. HHAHAHAHAHAHAH.....

This was an adventure. We got back to the train station, and the train left 1 minute later. We then had to stay for 2.5 hours till the next one in the little town of Nyköping with EVERYTHING closed. Luckily however, we found a Pizzeria. They had a special with Pizzas for 35 kr!!! We went in thinking we would have a warm place to eat and wait....however, 35 kr for a pizza was only for take away. If we wanted to sit, it was 55 kr. Then we said...hmm, ok, then we just take 1 pizza for two. But to share a pizza for 2 people it is then 65 kr! What the hell!!!!! Weird stuff....

VW POLO #2, Linköping

The next day I went to check out a POLO in Linköping. Guy tells me to come at 5.45 pm. I get there, hes not there. 6.15 I call him, and he is on the way. Mind you that it is FREEZING as well. So, he gets there, and he DOESNT HAVE THE KEYS! He also tells me there is no leaks or anything. I look under the car and it is leaking oil like there is no tomorrow! And he tells me it is not bad! hahahahahah

Im still looking for a car......
