Oh, this reminds me that I got amazing customer service from a different part of the Target supply chain -- they don't sell a replacement lampshade for the lamp I have, but the supplier sent me a new one for free!
Aw, Housewares, coming through for the consumer! That was nice of them.
Hi juliana!
My 2007 Ford Focus was a very acceptable vehicle. (It replaced the motorcycle, so I wasn't going to be excited about it.)
I don't think anyone is very excited about a 2007 Ford Focus. Though I drove a loaner 2008 Ford Focus for a little bit (for title reasons not mechanical reasons) and I liked the 2007 better.
Aw, Housewares, coming through for the consumer! That was nice of them.
Super nice. I am not sure what I expected when I wrote them, but not that!
Hello!
Jesse, wahoo on Target coming through!
Almost anything Toyota will be super reliable, but because of that they hold their value really well, so it's harder to find one that is cheap that isn't also old with lots of miles.
We found this out about Subarus when we went to replace our ancient Forrester a few years back. Turns out EVERYONE drives their Forresters into the ground so finding one used is really difficult and won't save you any money. (The one we were replacing was 15 years old, over 100k miles on it, and only needed replacing because it wasn't able to survive being hit head-on by a very stupid other driver.)
Hah, yes, my Toyota is now 20 or 21 years old, and I've had it for almost 19??!?! I'm not sure how that's possible. It's got dents and is a beater, at this point, but it's only got 140K on it, so....hard to justify getting rid of, until I need to!
My biggest issue with getting a car is getting people to respond. I have contacted 5 people about vehicles. One was sold. One responded Yes when I asked about coming to see it, but no follow up with a where or when. The other 3, silence. I don't want to end up going to a used car lot, but I may have to do so.
Yeah, I see late 80s and early 90s era Toyota trucks sell for $15k to $20k if they are low mileage and were well maintained. It's bonkers.
Timelies all!
Don't really have an advice on buying cars. All my cars prior to the current one were Toyota Corollas(current one is a Honda Civic) and all were bought new.
Anyone ever have a PT Cruiser? This one seems a good price for the mileage. [link]
