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.


Crash dummy needs new wheels?


Who are you calling a dummy?
My total cost of ownership on that car has been about $1000 a year for
the last 16 years including everything from the belt change to tires
and oil changes. How are you doing?


I was referring to the dealer's customer for your car.


The strange thing is people stop me and ask if it is for sale quite
often. There is a "prelude cult following". I see one exactly like
mine but well loved driving around here from time to time. For me it
is just a piece of metal that gets me from here to there. I am not
emotionally attached to cars and I certainly do not see them as a
measure of my self worth. If I do decide to roll it over, I am sure
someone will give me $1500 or more as is.
