I have been waiting patently for the last month on getting my EST loan sorted out to buy a new MG5. Everything was approved and I got the confirmation on Wednesday that the money had been sent, so I was looking forward to picking up my new car next week.
Then this morning on the way to work, the engine suddenly cut out and I got the engine management warning sound/light on.
After I pulled over, found this:
That puddle is Diesel.
Not a great day.
While sitting at the side of the road waiting for the breakdown recovery group to arrive, I decided to have a check at my bank account, there was a small chance the money would arrive this morning though I expected it would be into next week. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the money was there. I phoned the dealership to confirm the bank details for me to send the money to.
The sales person mentioned that the car was available, and if I could get the money to them that day, I could drive away today.
At lunch, I hitched a lift from my dad over to the dealership and picked it up then. After work, I went over to the garage that my blue car was recovered to and collected the car seats and then collected the kids. They approve of the new car.
Certainly not the day I had planned, but I am happy with how it turned out.
