What Happens after the Snow Storm- Buying A New Car

This weekend we purchased a new car, a real surprise for me because it happened so quickly withoout too much discussion
My Freelander which I have driven for about seven years was parked at the top of our driveway during the snowstorm so I could leave the house if I had to. Rick's was parked there too so he could leave for work. During the storm the snow piled on top of the car and a gigantic branch from one of the white pins fell right across the whole car. When he was out shoveling snow on Saturday morning Rick saw what happened. He told me. He had already pulled the branch off the car when I went outside. We both started shoveling and pushing snow from our cars. There was so much snow to deal with we did not notice the dent on the hood and it was even later I saw the dent in the roof. When I went to find out how much it would cost to repair the attendant ask me if I saw the other big hole that was in the roof. To make a long story short to fix the car we had to replace the hood and the roof. I wanted to just knock the dent out but Rick did not seem to think that solution would work. Rick told me to drive to Car Max and find out what the car was worth. While they were making the estimate I looked at small SUV's. The salesman Hans told me where to find them. Then he came out and we looked together. I found a Jeep Compass that had only three thousand miles on the speedometer. It was a great color, silver and just the right size. Later, I told Rick about it. He did not say much but after his nap on Saturday he said let's go to car max and look at cars. We looked at several and then looked at the Jeep. He thought it was a good deal but thought we should comparison shop. We spend the rest tof the afternoon looking at other car dealers, KIA, Subaru, Hyundai, When we talked to the new sales person Joe he told us when Carmax opened on Sunday. We pretty much decided the Jeep was the best deal. We took two cars to church, Rick went to the office to get a check and we drove out to Carmax and bought the Jeep. It tood about an hour.
