okay
okay
have you done this very long
uh well yeah for the last uh couple of months
yeah that's the same with us
yeah
well what kind of car would you buy
well it's kind of hard to say uh because i don't think we're going to buy another car for about three years
we just
oh okay
bought uh a car uh last year and then bought one in eighty nine
and uh
wait a minute we bought one in ninety we've got three cars of all things
uh-huh
so uh
probably
we'll be in at least a midsize four door sedan
okay
what kind do you have now
uh we have a a Mazda nine twenty nine
and a Ford Crown Victoria
and a little two seater CRX
oh okay
uh
it's rather difficult to to project what kind of
uh we'd
look always look into uh consumer reports to see what kind of uh
report or uh
repair records that the various cars have
uh-huh
and then of course we look into the prices
yeah
and uh
for uh we're not adverse to buying along in the summer
when
when the cars could get to be discounted because we keep we've begun to keep them
uh
longer a longer period of time uh i traded off an eighty two Oldsmobile for the eighty nine Mazda
oh uh-huh
so
uh
and did you find that you like the foreign cars better than the domestic
uh yeah yeah we we've had thirty some odd cars in our married life and
um
we we've had a good many foreign cars
uh-huh
and uh
they they uh i've been extremely we've had three Mazdas we've been extremely pleased with our Mazdas
oh really
yeah
we've always bought American made cars mostly Oldsmobiles
yeah well we we've had uh
let's see we had uh
we had a uh let me think
we had a fifty three
and a uh
we had uh
two fifty threes which is a long thirty minute story uh and we had a sixty five
and then we had this eighty two
uh-huh
so we we really can't complain about Oldsmobiles
really
yeah we've been real pleased with ours i think we've had one two three
yeah
and most we have a Cutlass we still have a Cutlass Supreme which is like a
a seventy seven
um-hum
then we have a Cutlass Sierra and we've had a
ninety eight
um-hum
so but i don't know we'll we're going to be in the market for a car probably in the next year and
the financing is always something we consider you know the four percent or when they
um-hum
give good financing through the
the motor company
um-hum
but i don't know what we're going to buy i always thought i would like to try a foreign made car but boy with all the auto workers being laid off makes me feel guilty so
well uh my son over in Shreveport uh sold Porsches Audis Mada Mazdas and Volkswagons for ten years
and that was one of the deciding factors in getting the Mazdas
oh
uh
so
uh
the first foreign car that we had was a a seventy seven MG MGB
oh the
was British green racing green with real wire wheels and a hard top and a soft top
ooh boy
and uh i drove it mostly
and
i bet it was hard to part with that
yeah it really was my husband was in the Air Force
and we got transferred to Okinawa
oh
so uh we had to sell it which which really really tore me up
oh yes
because uh it was it was great fun and then uh when we got to Okinawa bought well we bought a second hand we uh
we decided that uh we had that sixty uh sixty five Oldsmobile and it and it was just too big so we we sold it to a fellow who was coming back to the States and we got a little Fiat
uh and a and the little uh forty horse power Mazda four door sedan
oh
