Every time I take my cars to the Toyota dealer for servicing, they want to buy them. My wife's 2014 Sienna, and my 2015 Tacoma, both paid off, and each with less that 60k on the odometer. I'd be a fool to get rid of these excellent vehicles just to take on car payments.

No thanks.

RE: Every time I take my cars to the Toyota dealer for servicing, they want to buy them

This is my third Toyota Camry the past 25 years. The first two served me for 250,000 miles each serving me for 12 years each before I donated them to charity for tax deduction.

Same thing happens when Hubby takes in our 2012 Honda Accord and 2015 Rav 4. They’re basically perfect. I doubt if the back seats have been sat in more than 10 times. They REALLY REALLY want to buy them. We bought them used for cash and can’t imagine selling them.

I get the same thing. We have a 2016 Corolla which didn’t actually hit the pavement until May 2017, and we got it used with under 15K miles, under $15,000. Due to covid, three years later it has only 37K on it. It’s worth more than we paid for it.

Now I see one with 90K miles for 14,999, about $200 more than we paid three years ago.

The problem is they are regulating cars out of existence. So in five or six years when you are ready to buy one you won’t be able to. In fact the most recent CAFE requirements Biden announced a few months are impossible to meet.

I have the same thing with my 2005 Chevy Trailblazer with about 48K miles. The local dealer sends an email every 4-5 days offering one deal or another.

Two or three months ago I brought in my 2013 Jeep Compass with a bit over 100 miles on it for servicing at the dealer. A young sales guy hard pressured me into selling it. I said the same thing. What ever I pay for the repairs is still a Hell of a lot cheaper than car payments.

Which is why I wouldn't take my out of warranty car to the dealer for servicing.

Everyone is desperate for vehicles... they can’t get new vehicles because of covid lunacy created supply chain issues.

I had to have my car serviced for a warrantee repair a few months back... the showroom had exactly 2 cars in it.. both were USED, one was over 12 years old....

Wasn’t a NEW vehicle to be found on the lot, and this was a BIG MANUFACTURER NEW CAR DEALERSHIP, not a single new car to be found to sell or test drive...

My car is worth more resale now, than it was 24 months ago.

My ‘06 Corolla LE has 400K on it. Parts are dirt cheap and it’s easy to work on. K&N air filter gets it 33 MPG combined. It’s a real money saver.
