bought my 1st car today 22nd october (it's 23rd in spore). 97 toyota corolla for USD1900. thank God for all the help to get this. 

1.felt God held the car for us. 

2. dormmate who knew alot about cars came by as we viewed the car and he helped us check engine, oil etc.  and made sure it is good. 

3. seller is Christian and very forthcoming. had all the maintenance records etc in good order.

4. the procedures went smoothly

the seller invited us to their relatives' place for thanksgiving. i had initially thought he was "just saying". but he repeated it in front of his wife and she heartedly agreed and asked if he (seller) has our number. 

but driving on the other side of the road has been stressful to me. it's v counter-intuitive. i would still check the wrong side 1st or drive on the wrong side (thankfully it is a residential place so no other cars were there). or turn on the wipers when i m trying to signal! LOL
