The four year lease on our Mazda Protege ends at the end of April, so last night we went to our Mazda dealership with the intention of handing over a big cheque to buy our car.

We were about to hand over the aforementioned cheque when Jen said “So you’re not going to try to sell us another lease??”. Our salesman said we seemed set on buying our old car so he hadn’t bothered, but…

An hour later we walked out of the dealership with a lease agreement for a brand new sparkly silver Mazda 3. Somehow we managed to sell ourselves a new car; doesn’t that mean we should get the commission?
