I'll sell it to you for a good price and it'd be June/July when I'd be giving 'er up.

Mind you, we don't live in the north, but over nearly 7 years this car has taken us on countless camping trips in northern Ontario, and on a long, meandering trip from Toronto to Cape Breton and back through the States. Still going strong.Nancy Crozierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01278872067956833819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10757771.post-20458860162511212202010-04-17T14:05:25.993-04:002010-04-17T14:05:25.993-04:00All Toyota all the time since one foray into Chrys...All Toyota all the time since one foray into Chrysler (I had a 1968 that was bullet proof, hence the foolishness of a young man's fancy for fast times).<br /><br />These Toyota problems are the stuff of all car companies. They make the news because it's so unexpected of them. Imagine if we were hearing this about ... well Chryslers at the moment. Barely a yawn from the media, if we would have heard of it at all.<br /><br />I like your suggestion about a gently used vehicle. Lots of merit in letting someone else eat the depreciation. <br /><br />Looking at my cars, they would have all been fantastic deals for anyone had I been of a mind to let them go so early in their life. As it is, I am a "drive 'em until they're dust" kinda guy. Which Toyota has been good enough to foster in me. <br /><br />The last Corolla for instance cracked 330K before the Ontario salt ate the body (the engine and drivetrain showned its age but also it's willingness for soldier on). The current Corolla is at that mileage and doesn't even strain. The bodywork is far better at this age too ...rock pitted mostly and rust finally making its appearance (the windshield is in serious need but then after 11 years, how do you justify that!!). <br /><br />As a mark of confidence, I just renewed plates for another two years so there's something.<br /><br />Get Toyota, and something just off lease from a grandmother or the like! But hurry. If I understand from all the norther blogs, you have scant little time to get everything into the pipeline before hand.<br /><br />Regards,The Perfect Stormnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10757771.post-24248216873260552492010-04-17T07:23:39.468-04:002010-04-17T07:23:39.468-04:00I think the main reason people buy cars coming off...I think the main reason people buy cars coming off of a lease is normally the car will have warranty left on it that transfers to you. As well there are mileage restrictions on leases so the car won't have crazy high miles on it. Its a good idea if you can find one. We tried when we were looking at Subaru but realized that people don't lease Subaru - they keep them for eternity. Which is where I say -get a Subaru. We adore ours and plan on keeping it for eternity.
