Tacoma lease ends on 12/24. It lived in the city for a year, where they park by feel, so not perfect. Thought I'd try to sell it to a dealer, to get out of the US Bank lease, and not have to deal with the lease end stuff/charges.
Called Carmax. Sure, we can buy out your lease.. in for an appointment, get the whole spiel.. I kept saying, this is a US Bank lease.. don't you need my lease info to get a payoff? Sure, after we get you a price. After 30 minutes, comes out with the offer sheet ($29K). Looks good, but I need to know if this is more than US Bank will sell it to you for (as USB won't give me a dealer buyout price, just mine). Blank stare.
Let's go to the business office. I don't even get the whole sentence out of my mouth, before the guy says, USBank won't sell it to us. Sigh...
Call US Bank again, yesterday. Carmax says they you won't sell to them. Where can I sell my lease? Phone rep: Just about any new car dealer. We just don't deal with used car dealers. Great!
Call the UCM at my Toyota dealer. Can you buy out a US Bank lease? Sure, bring it out. Bring it out, he looks at the vehicle, takes my lease account info. Comes back ten minutes later: USBank won't sell me the vehicle. In fact, they told him they won't sell it to any dealer. The UCM says they are a pain, and if I return the car to the dealership at lease end, they won't even offer it to him.
So, looks like I get to drive the Tacoma for a month, and just turn it in. Fortunately, it is under mileage. Big sigh.

I’ve got the Apple and Android stuff in my Kia but My Trac phone is useless with it.
Those CRVs are nice. My coworker just traded in his beloved 2009 on a 2020 that the dealer said was a loaner with 7,000 miles. He liked it until the various electronic features and radio started glitching. He’s had it back about a half dozen times with no luck. They told him they put a new radio in for him but he found out later the security code was the same as before so he thinks they were lying. He’s starting to suspect that this was a lemon buy back not a service loaner.
I told him to sell it to Carvana while prices were so high but he hemmed and hawed and I think the opportunity has passed.

The Carfax on this model was extremely detailed. Otherwise, we wouldn't have records. It's going to my indy mechanic next week for an oil change, and a general look over.

I’ve always found Subarus a great bang for the buck.
I’m going to solicit some quotes on X3’s both new and loaners. No idea what I should expect!

If you don't see that and don't get records (which you rarely do) you pretty much have to assume nothing was done and it needs everything!

I’m thinking of running a CarFax on my old PT Crusier which was hit by a power company truck and repaired in my indie body shop. The company wrote me a check but didn’t know where the repairs were done.
I wonder if the fender bender would show up?

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve grown to love my Tacoma over the last 14 months. It is definitely an acquired taste. The utility of it (for me) makes up for the choppy ride (the suspension has settled over the past 26,500 miles). I do love the way it looks. If you are going to look at a high optioned Short Bed Sport or Off Road, definitely take it for a decent test drive back to back with a 4Runner.
I had to pick up this Grease Trap for a customer this afternoon. Even cooler is it was loaded in with a forklift.

Was at the BMW/Mini store today and saw the perfect Mini Cooper S 2-door. Was dark silver with a white top and white caps on the side view mirrors. Price was like $34,500 but it did have an $8500 package on it with lots of stuff. All I really wanted was a sun/moon roof, SAT radio(a year subscription), and the Harman Kardan audio system. The rest of the package was stuff that I had no interest in. Looks to be a fun vehicle. Even tough I say I want "cheap to keep" next time, that Mini Cooper called out to me just like the VW GTI and the new VW Taos does. When the time comes, think it's going to be really hard to pick one. I guess it'll come down to the test drives again, just like with the Golf. I'll do them all back to back and then, I'll know...I'll just know. And that'll be it. But next purchase, think it'll be for a longer time of ownership due to the act that I'm only putting on maybe 4k miles/year at best. A good ting.
Lastly, back in the early part of my rental car employment, we had to drive those little Fiat's up to Orlando during a rain storm. Seriously, it was the most unsafe vehicle I've ever driven in the rain in my life! It was all over the road and since it was windy from a cold front blowing in, it was getting pushed all around. Awful driving vehicle, just awful. The 500X I drove last year was much more stable on the road and felt so much more secure. Guessing the wider tires helped plus being a CUV, it was raised a bit off the ground which also helped. Wasn't awful at all.
Best part of my job is getting to drive so many different kinds of vehicles. All on their dime to!

Looks to be on the conservative side, but in a good way. As always, the Si and Type R reveals will be interesting.
