Got a text from WJC yesterday, had a couple of things in it...
The bad? The HR lady at work, who's been there for years & was responsible for all of the insurance and 401k/retirement products, apparently had a heart attack over the Thanksgiving holiday & passed away. I'm not sure, as it had never come up, but I think she was in her 50s? There's been no official word about it at work yet, but WJC said the rumour has been going around, and that's not the kind of thing one makes up. It's fairly shocking, as she didn't appear to have any health issues. I didn't really know her beyond her work function, but it's pretty sad.
The other thing he wrote me about was that he saw a Volt I might be interested in buying, so he sent me some pics. It's pretty sharp looking, electric blue with black leather interior, only 60k miles, and has the premium trim package, which should include heated seats, nav system, and a backup camera, amongst other things. The only issue it has is that it has a salvage title due to hitting a deer, meaning the insurance company 'totaled' it (would've cost more to repair than the vehicle was worth). From what I understand, this guy buys cars like this at auction, repairs them reasonably well, and resells them. It's a fairly common practice, and as long as the damage seems to have been repaired properly, I don't think it will be an issue for me. The best thing is, a car with mileage that low would likely go for $10-12k around here right now, but he's asking $7600 (due to the title issue). WJC's Volt is the same model year (2012), and his has over 220k miles on it, so I know it would be a reliable car.
I'm scheduled to go see it today @ 1p. If it drives well and the repairs are good, I may just pick it up, then sell my 4Runner. I'm pretty sure I can get about the same price for that, so it may end up being a wash on cost, which would be cool.
