Received a letter from Toyota today.
It is an "Exclusive Upgrade Notification" with my very own "Personal Web Key".

Local dealer is apparently "the site for an exciting and unique Toyota
Truck Upgrade Sale" which is only available to select clients.

I was wondering if I should contact and tell them that a handful of
know-it-alls in wrecked.boats claim that my Highlander isn't a truck.

Anyway they are offering interest rates as low as 0%...cash incentives up
to $4k and a special $2k trade-in voucher. Gotta make up my mind by Feb 26.


Marketing! They are not giving anything away for free. We still get
letters on my wife’s 2009 Venza where customers want that model and will
get a nice trade in value.

I got a letter recently telling me my 97 Prelude was in high demand
and I should stop by for my deal.


I think it was one of the most stolen cars, so there was a demand.

I am sure it is worth more in parts than as a car. They are pretty
rare and I am sure kids wreck them a lot. Under the skin it is a
garden variety Civic with a V-Tech engine.
I still like buzzing around in it but if it blows up, I may just take
the tags off and walk away ;-)
There was a while when I thought about an electric conversion since
they make a Civic kit. I just can't make the numbers work out for the
little I drive, even with the 30% tax deal assuming that deal is still
around. They do have a kit that makes it a drag racer tho ;-)
I suppose if I am going very far I could drop my Briggs generator on a
little trailer and make it a hybrid.
