The title says it all, but, yes, a few weeks ago I finally went and bought my first car! At the age of 27 lol, some may say that's a long time for someone to wait to buy their first car but whatever.
To say I'm excited is beyond what I'm feeling, it's a bunch of feelings: excited, proud, grateful, etc. I have been on a high since I've had my new baby in my possession. I do have to say I'm proud of myself because I actually did my research and bought this car all on my own. When I was younger, I remember my brother and I saying we wanted matching Cadillac Escalades then once I got to high school I wanted an Audi R8 (still my dream car lol.) At the age of 27, I realzied that luxury isn't everything and I was okay with not having my dream car, YET.
I ended up purchasing a 2021 Hyundai Elantra SEL in Portifino Grey. Now, I really wanted the N Line, but the salesman, Lucio, at Braman Hyundai had informed me they only had one and it was sold. Of course, I asked if there was something similar to it and he showed me the SEL. He said there wasn't too much of difference, just that the N Line has an outline of red on the interior and it goes up to 190 mph (my granpda told me I didn't need a car that goes that fast, *insert eye roll*.)
When I took it for a test drive, I was in love from how smooth it rode, the wireless charging, Bluetooth hands-free phone system, the Sport and Smart Drive, and don't even get me started about how I have camera helping me see when I reverse lol. It has Blind Spot Avoidance Assist, Rear Cross-Traffic Avoidance Assist, Lane Keep Assist, and more! One of my concerns was the interior because it is a cloth type of interior and I don't want any stains in my car. Lucio informed me, I wouldn't have any issues with the interior but still a tad worried.
Yes, I purchased it and no I did not lease it. For me, I felt like buying was the better option. I was able to drive it off the lot the day I purchased it, but I had to bring it back so it could get tints. I had amazing service at Braman Hyundai and couldn't be more satisfied with my purchase. I'm grateful I was finally able to do this for myself and I'm grateful for the help I had from my grandpa, Lucio, and the finanicla advisor. Now to come up with a nickname for my baby LOL!
