My father takes a long time to buy a new car. I mean a loooong time. He'll think he likes a car and will sit there debating on whether he likes the car enough to buy it. Sometimes, before he gets a chance to buy it, the next generation is already getting a refresh. Then, of course, he doesn't like the restyle. Since he didn't buy the car that he liked when it was still likable, he doesn't buy the car and we're left as we are today with my dad hunting for a new car... still.
With this preface in mind, I took over the task of finding a car for my father. Here's him in a nutshell:
- almost 60
- drove Mercurys for the past 40 years
- owns a single cd that he listens to around Christmas
- usually listens to news radio
- wants a soft, comforting ride
- car needs to get from a to b safely, reliably, and inexpensively
Hmmm... what company embodies the perfect car for the mobile geriatric? BUICK!
