Well the title doesn't real relate to what im gonna say. Today my dad and I, and his friend went out to look at some used Mercedes-Benz ML350s. His friend thought that a used and certified 2011 ML was better than a 2012 ML, I prefered the 2012. See the thing is that MB changed the car in 2012 to Gen 3. So the 2011 was visibly older and poorer than the 2012 version. The current design that the car is running with is the 3rd Gen so I thought that if we were to get the 2011 then in like one year it would become super old and everyone would know that we bought used. Instead I thought we should get the previous year's version since its updated visibly and under the hood and since MB runs a Gen for about 6 years, we should look up to date for 6 years. But my dad's friend kept saying that certified is better than new. So we went up to Greenwich, CT because they had relatively large inventory. We went at 2 and we left at 6. The thing is we test drove and talked and we ended up coming to the end, super close to buying it. That is when my dad's friend decided to do the bargain plan he wanted to do. The whole reason he came is because he can "bargain". The price of the car was 47 K. His starting price was 41 K. That is 6 K off the price. That is super unfair. I was like, you just killed our negotiations. But he went further. The salesman, who was respectful and nice, said he take 1.1 K off the 2 years certification. And then the friend said give me 45 K. Now I thought he meant 45 K for the car, but no! He meant 45 K car + discounted warranty. Im like facefloor. In the end the guy just stands up and leaves. It was an hour after closing time and the manager had already left, so he ushered us out. My dad  said that we would contact him on Monday if we were interested in the car. Now the thing is the car we chose was the 2012 with 16K miles on it. There was another one that was $45 K and had 32K miles. I told my dad to get that one since its cheaper and the certification pushes the warranty miles max limit higher (up to 120 K miles). It seemed like a very good plan. But our friend was like nah B, its already at 32 K that means the warranty will end before the time limit is up. Im like, u stupid? We had our van for 8 years now and it only went 70 K. That means every year we go about 8.75 K every year. That means by the time the warranty ends we would've added 43,750 miles to the already standing  32K. That means the warranty will not end due to miles, but to time instead. So why he thought that, I have no idea. But I have a feeling that the 47 K 2012 one will be gone when we call him on Monday. And then on top of that, our friend was like, lets try to also bargain the 2011 one. Now my dad is the only one that likes the 2011 one. My mom and I both favor the 2012. My mom likes the look off it a lot since it feels more bigger and stronger and luxurious inside. I like it since its more bold and sleek and it won't feel outdated for a long time. But i don't understand why he wants the outdated ML. I mean its like getting the iPad 4 even though the iPad Air is here. The 4 will still work and Apple will support it, but it will drop off the supported list faster than the Air. What i'm saying is, let's get a used iPad Air. Seems smart to me. (see my pun there? Smart is owned by Mercedes-Benz)

Today was an rather uneventful day. I went to class and took a very long test in global studies. But the real event that happened was in math. A guy sits behind my friend. My friend sits next to me. We sit in the 2nd row from the back. So this guy's seat is against the back wall. We have lunch in the middle of the block so when we came back from lunch this guy told us that he was drunk off sanitizer. I tried to act friendly but he lacked common sense and was speaking to no one. He also acted weird. The teacher may not have realized but he stood up and left the room while my teacher was talking. He came back 5 minutes later. The teach asked him where he went. He was like, no wherr. So then this guy starts to show my friend pictures and videos of when he got caught by the popo smoking weed. And he also told the guy sitting in front of me that one time he used his house as an escape from the popo. All while he drunk and high. Oh well.
