    Good morning. Checking in on all you wonderful Shiny people.
    I lost my brother on Sept. 8th. That was/is tough. He had Parkinson's, but passed suddenly.

    I'm still standing, well, sit more than stand these days.
    I miss you all, but life has gotten in the way and I am spending more time with family and friends and less time online.

    Take care and sending love to all....:wub:

    I hate dealing with car dealers too. That’s part of the reason we keep our vehicles so long.
    I always buy slightly used. 4 years is my regular rotation. buy a 4 year old one (low miles) and trade in my other. 4 years later, repeat. I like to let the first guy absorb the depreciation. I always pay cash. Sadly, paying cash does not hold the clout it used to. Dealers like you to use their financing department.
    I have two Toyota dealers I like and will deal with. I always deal only with the sales manager because sales people come and go too often. I refuse to be smoosed. I let them know that right away. Be there to answer my questions but do not talk constantly about how great the car is or how good I will look in it. I already know what I am looking for and I have done the research.
    The beginning of the year I bought my current Toyota. A "Limited" 2021 with only 30K miles. Pristine condition. The "Limited" has more bells and whistles than I would have chosen and some of them scare me. Yikes. But I got a good deal.
