went to Woodhaven Toyota a few weeks ago… they had sent out an email to owners of 2010 Corollas advising they needed them to sell and would give a great deal…

took my daughter and met with a young man who got us into the 2013 Corolla S, for a test drive… it was fine, but not that different from my current car…

their numbers weren’t that great, basically they were going to give $1500 towards   a credit or new vehicle lease…  the last time we were there, they were able to lower our payments and give us a newer vehicle… not so much this time…  the other piece of information I learned was that my lease, which I thought was up this year,  isn’t up until 2014…

he also advised that my car would be worth less because it had been in an accident – when George had his heart attack he drifted over the curb and into a fence… this piece of information kind of made me mad, because when I went in to have the lease changed from George’s name to mine, and I asked about it, the fellow I spoke with advised that the accident wouldn’t change the value of the car at all…  they also didn’t seem to feel that the 16,000 mileage was a selling benefit…

I thought about what they had to say and have decided they don’t really want my 2010 that bad, and I will keep it until the lease is up…
