Graf 11 Real Life Research

My real life research would have to be about buying the car that I have now. This would be my third car, the first one we sold so we could get a better running one, and the second one had broken down on me. Not only did I have to think about the things that the car needed, but also what I wanted, price and the condition of the car. I decided that I didn't want to buy a brand new car yet so a used one was fine with me. So I began my journey looking online at craigslist. Some of the criteria we needed was four doors, automatic, cup holders, low mileage, doesn't need a lot of work, and didn't have a lot of rust. Now I wanted a four door because I do take my cousins quite often and it's easier to get them in and buckle them up in a four door. Cup holders may seem like a silly thing to have on a list for a car, but I always have an iced coffee with me so a cup holder was a must. My dad had helped me in this process of finding a car where he used to be a mechanic and works at a parts store now. So for a couple of months we looked online and found a few cars that we were going to go look at once we both had days off together. So one weekend we both had off and just decided we were going to just go for a drive and see what we find. We had drove not even 15 minutes and saw a car. We stopped to look at it, and it was perfect. My dad like the looks of the body and how there wasn't any rust. And I loved that there were cup holders and it was a four door. The price was not bad either. So we took the number that was on the sign and decided to go grab something to eat. Before we got our food we had called the guy and he said we could go pick it up the next day. So needless to say something as simple as car shopping, isn't really all that simple. You do have to do your own research on the things you want the car to have, how it drives and maybe even the kind of car it is.
