After waiting since November, on April 1st, I picked up my new company car, 2010 Ford Fusion SE 4 banger.
Really not my kinda of ride, but I'll take it.

During these hard economic times, I feel lucky to have a job at a company that want me in a new vehicle.
I'm sure it is saving me and the company money but now that I have my company car, it brings me to having to sell my Buick Rendezvous.
This is where my problem starts!
I have too many cars!!!!!

It's just Michelle and I, so how can I drive 2 cars at once???
The Buick was Michelles before she got her G8 and I took it over as my work vehicle and traded in my Astrovan.
The Buick had some leakage issues and finally got the dealer to agree to fix it for $200 before I sell it.
Just got it back from the dealer, looked good and put it up for sale.
A army guy in town that was leaving for Afganistan wanted to buy it for his honey before he left so I let them take it for a test ride.
Upon their return, they loved the car and their gonna buy it from me!!!!!
Then "steam" started arose from the hood and the said we'll think about it and walked away.
I did tell them earlier it was repaired so they were wondering why I didn't catch it on the way home?
I didn't see any problems then!
So, to make a long story short, I felt like a used car salesman crook trying to sell a defective car to a true blue American soldier.
I feel so bad and mad at the dealer!!!!!
So, I'm thinking the maniford seal problem is just a fluke because I drove it around after that and the leak disappeared!
I'm thinking the cold and hot transfer caused the new seal to shrink and fail...and will reseat on it own with a few runs....I will be calling the service dept on monday!
Like I said, I have too many cars!
