That seemed odd to me but maybe Mrs E got a good deal on a leftover
2016 model.
I'm sure Richard knows the story.

BTW..Toyota sent me a form letter today saying how special I am owning
a 2013 Highlander and living in this geographic area. Due to high
demand for my model they have a special promotions on to enable be to
upgrade to a 2017 model.
Aren't those car salesmen thoughtful.


It is a 2016 model. Had 3K miles on it as a dealer "demo" but is
warranted and titled as "new". Peppy little sucker though and quiet.
All that matters is that "she" likes it.

Don't know if they still make them or not.

I got a similar letter about the Nissan Altima I bought just about a
year ago. "Due to a shortage of clean, previously owned autos we can
offer you 125% of the current market value of your 2016 Nissan Altima
towards the purchase of any new Nissan product.

Geeze. Gimme a chance to put a few miles on it first, will ya?


My wife got an email earlier this year from Toyota, offering her a
fantastic trade-in on her 2016 Toyota Camry, which had a grand total of
7,100 miles on it (which the dealer knew). So we went over to the
dealership and voila!...left with a spanking new 2017 Camry and a step
up in model and trim, too. I still have no idea how this happened, but
the cost to her to do this was almost nothing.
