Car Shopping

Ok, so my car has been in the shop for over a year now getting the transmission fixed. This is absolutely horrible. For the longest time I thought it could be fixed, but now I have pretty much given up hope and I am very upset at the shop that is doing the work on it.
Anyways, this means that I need a new car. I have been looking at almost every car out there. I was first interested in the Camero, then the Impala, then the Grand Prix, then the accord and again the Grand Prix. Anyways, almost every car has its issues (kind of like most people). But, it was fun to get to drive all these cars. I got to drive a Z28 Camero with about 320 HP. But that was a very heavy car compared to the Grand Prix. It is a lot light but only has 200 HP. It revs higher but is quite peppy.
I have decided that cars salesmen can be just as bad as their stereotype. I went to Honda Carland in Roswell and the salesman would not leave me alone. He kept on telling me how much he was not trying to pressure me into anything but then he tried to make me promise to come back the next day to look at another car that wasn't anything like what I wanted. He also made fun of me for like the expensive car but not wanting to pay the outrageous price they had on it. Dealer prices always start out super high and this one was no exception. But, we did meet one awsome salesperson who actually sold himself before the car. He just showed us the cars, got the keys, and opened the doors. He didn't try to talk us into something but he actually listened to what I was saying about the car and let us try out cars that met that description. I also spent a lot of time talking about all the neat toys that come packed into seperate cars and how they could easily be modded for a cooler, customized look. He was from the Chevy dealer. I expected a lot more from the Honda dealer and a lot less from the Chevy dealer. It is because the Honda dealer doesn't need you to really be pleased because there is such a demand for that car that they will sell the cars anyways. It is horrible for businesses to not have competition that forces them to contour their practices to what the consumers need. You see it with Honda, Microsoft, Oil producers and many other monopolies...
Well, no decision yet on what car I am going to get but the Grand Prix is a fun, easy to drive and sporty car that may or may not have major drive-train (transmission) problems early in its life. Meditate on this further I will.
