Are you a current or recent car shopper who bought an EV and then installed solar – or who had solar already, making the decision to go electric easier?
OR
Are you a recent EV buyer (past 3 months) as a result of manufacturer incentives and dealer discounts on these vehicles, including year-end deals? Were you convinced to buy an EV after finding a good end-of-year deal, or due to uncertainty around which EVs will no longer qualify for full/partial EV tax credits in 2024?

    Very nice! Of course the deal you got helped, but hey, that's still good resale. Looking forward to the wrap-up! Can you please replace it with a 2016 Honda Pilot? Kay thanks.

    my last comment on the carmax parking job got me a PM so i'm gonna go positive this time. i love that you parked where not even the handicapped are allowed to park. next time: carmax roof top.

    Agreed on the Honda Pilot. You've never tested one and its a very popular car and when the new model comes out there will be a lot of interest in how it does. Its a big seller. $4k depreciation on an instant Carmax offer is pretty awesome, especially when you consider that didn't need to buy tires (at likely $1k per set) and nearly drove 2 years worth of miles. Had you sold it at 20 months/20k and gotten that price, that's just a $200 per month cost. Heck of a deal.

    i don't know why anyone buys a year or two old honda/toyota. they hold their value so well you might as well buy new.

    Especially for a shoot! I like the way the handicapped blue reflects off the Toyota blue- it's almost poetic

    BTW, great job blocking the entire ramp !!- Most people just get lazy when they park "for a sec" but only manage to block one or two spots- much more efficient way to keep wheelchairs out if you block the entire ramp! well played my man, well played

    Let me guess, if you get closer to the NO PARKING sign, it also says: UNLESS you park the car there to get the Carmax sign in a shot, get it and leave!
