Let me know when you are going to take delivery. I'd love to wish you congrats in person. Mamaroneck is somewhere in between my house and my job.

The solar sunroof job down the street is still sitting there with its FSBO sign on it, going on 3 weeks now. Doesn't look like they've figured out that they are asking way over market for it.

I've gotten 5 emails and 3 letters from different dealerships this month alone inviting me, a veteran, to take advantage of these special offers. The only thing that may have prompted these invitations is the fact that I am a USAA member - but through my Dad who is a veteran of WWII. I can't think of any other reason I am getting these offers.
But I am not a veteran!

I change the oil and plug at the end of every season and do a full maintenance on it. It costs about $8 for the parts. I run it until the gas runs out because the ethanol in the gas isn't good for the carb. This spring I may change the belts.
It seems like my method of neglect and abuse is cheaper.

But this offer you're speaking of was exactly the same. Same letter, exact same wording, and exact same sticky note. If I remember correctly the envelopes are printed but with a very handwritten looking font, also with no return address.
This whole creative marketing is done by marketing companies that large dealer groups hire (or purchase their programs from) to print and send out such letters and offers. Its different than traditional flyers and gets more people opening the mail and actually reading the offers instead of just throwing the flyer straight into the recycling bin before even looking at it.
Truth is the dealership GM doesn't care about what car you own, nor does he have time to be digging through customer databases (with thousands of clients) to see who owns what. And he would definitely not have time to be sending individual emails to individual salespeople regarding individual customers.
A computer program fills in customer names (and sometimes the make and model of the vehicle the customer owns) into the letters, and emails them to the printer. When the printed letters arrive each salesperson will get a few hundred of them with a matching list to hand write sticky notes onto (if it isn't printed), and the dealership receptionist will stamp them all and mail them out. Not much else to do on a slow February weekday morning for the salesguys so this can potentially result in some deals.
If it costs the dealership $5000 to do a mail campaign like that with say 10,000 mailouts, and even 10 people end up purchasing something (0.1% success rate), and the dealer ends up making $30,000 out of those 10 deals then it's worthwhile for them.

Actually this list is kind of tricky. They are combining reliability AND road test scoring, so you could end up with a car that's fairly high on the list but not equally reliable. Apparently Fiat failed both.
Are you sure you want to buy without driving and inspecting? Can you do it like a house sale....or like verdugo did, a conditional sales contract....here is what I'll pay if I like it after inspecting and driving it.

Not to mention they aren't the most reliable things out there. We had a few we came across and they had small but pricey issues.
No wonder they're near the bottom.

•Midsize SUV: Toyota Highlander, third time in four years. Last year was Hyundai Santa Fe.
•Minivan: Honda Odyssey, third consecutive win.
•Green car: Toyota Prius, fifth consecutive year.
•Luxury car: Audi A6, third consecutive year; none picked before then.
•Pickup truck: None chosen. Last year was Ram 1500.
•Best overall: Tesla Model S, second consecutive year. None picked before then.

If this has washed out I'll have someone do a search for me. Worst case is buying a III with the solar roof new. That one I already have negotiated locally. I'd rather a Certified preowned though.
Could be stringing you along to try to get full price. Be firm, there are more fish in the sea.

anyway, here you go. Nicer color IMO, unless you like lipstick red. Low miles, a 2011, price looks right. 1 year older but 10K fewer miles. This is near me, and just up the road from where QB got his caddy. A lot closer to you than Mamaroneck. dealer has had it for about a month, so might have more wiggle room.

I found this one also. Looks nice, low miles. and not garish red. A whole boatload more money of course, but everything is negotiable. This one is near me too. They even note right in the ad, how hard it is to find a solar package! Of course, if this price was close to real world market, I would spend the 25-26K and get a brand new one. The 2011 above is a much better deal.

Salesman said he would email me a copy of the window sticker - which will be quite useful when planning our offer.

Yeah, she wants the sunroof and that's the way Toyota sells that.
Had seen the one in Mount Laurel. It's a level down and a year older and they want the same amount of money.
We'll see. To me silver is less a killer than black or grey. I will not own a white car.
Is what's his name still the UCM up in Paramus (where you got the Camry?) Someone in the business should be able to do some hunting. won't be CPO, but that does not seem to be too big a deal on them.
that, or expand the search and be ready to make a road trip. If you don't have a trade, why not?

Once the oil issue is resolved we'll be handing the Camry over to my daughter and declaring the 15+ year old Accord dead.
A new one has not been ruled out.
they are actually a nice dealer. and I had good luck with the internet guy (Chris something). If they have a new one that would meet your standards (I find it hard to tell from their listings which one has a solar package) put in an internet quote request, and you will actually get a real # back. Actually, I think you can just email them without picking out a specific unit, and they can find one for you.

Is it me or is this "blue" car black or grey?
I have never driven a Prius. but do find the seats comfortable, and like the package. Though not sure I could get used to the dash! But if you like it, the MPG is a nice bonus. My SIL got one to replace a 10 YO Civic last year, and loves her. she also commutes from Va. through the corner of DC, and I think the hybrid is perfect for that use.
the link you just included, why? No solar on that, is there? Not that I would buy from a local lot in Bethlehem! Oh, just for the color. Yeah, that looked Gray.
