today we received a phone call from washburn motors (www.washburnmotorsinc.com) informing us that an anonymous donor wanted to give us a car...when my hubby informed me of this i burst into tears...for all of you that know me, you know that this is NOT a usual occurance for me...we were both just totally floored and humbled that someone loved us enough to do something like this for us (we know we're loved, but not too many ppl that just go around giving others a car ya know) so after #1's 5 yr check up (75% for height, 50% for wt, one shot) we went to the dealership
on the phone he didn't tell us how much we had to work with so we were thinking like $1800 MAYBE up to $3000...so were there and he says there is a hinderence, that he only has like 3 cars on the lot that fit into the budget that he was given of $7500!!!!
(insert me choking almost passing out right here)
hubby and i seriously didn't know what to think, we've not had a car that we've purchased since being married that cost more than $2200 (and i think it may have been less than that!) so the 3 cars that the dealer had on his lot that worked were an infiniti sedan, nissan sentra sedan, and a toyota sienna mini van...as those that know us...we've got 3 and we plan on one more so the van makes the most sense for us...we're test driving it and unless impressed otherwise will probably get that...if we don't get that we can discuss w/ the dealer what we would like and then he can try and get a car on his lot that will work for us...
what an amazing blessing and how humbling...for us, when we get to the point where we can do things like this for others we will consider ourselves wealthy beyond measure because being able to bless others in this manner makes you rich beyond a worldly concept!
