591 Shares An early technology adopter, I purchased the iPad on the first day it came out. I also got the original iPhone on the day it came out, and the first Google Android phone, the T-Mobile G1, within a month of its release.

Coming out of the negotiations with a new car and a great deal on it can happen, if you go about things the right way.
