Possible release?

A call from "S" this morning. Carlos still has not found us our dream car (or even a Kangoo), but he has something for us we might be interested in. So we went down to see him.

Turns out she spoke a little hastily, but Carlos is a super nice guy. Next week he will have a renault scenic available for us to buy. It's 3000 euros cheaper than the budget we had given him for a car, and what's more, when he does eventually find the car we requested, he'll buy the scenic back from us and sell us the kangoo instead.

We can't complain with a deal like that.

And we're ready for a car. We see so many property listings more than a day's drive away, we're eager to get on the road to check some of them out. In the absence of a real flow of solid properties for us to chew on around here, it feels like we've been treading water waiting to go see other regions. Our own car will be a welcome addition to the family.
