Today's need to do Many Things turned into the intention to do Some Things & has now become a day where nearly No Things were done. In part as a result, No Things will also be done tomorrow because they were contingent upon Some Things being accomplished today. And that's my weekend in a nutshell.

I'd like to OWN a Tacoma next, so I was saying I should hope there's one for sale at a Subaru dealership when the time comes to trade in my CrossTrek. ๐
TheBirdman (@thebirdman.bsky.social) reply parent
That's the bit, basically. ๐ซค I traded a Honda at a Honda dealership, so I got more for the [POS]. I wouldn't have received nearly as much at a Subaru dealer, for example. (The CT was a used car on the Honda dealership's lot.)
TheBirdman (@thebirdman.bsky.social) reply parent
Learned a neat deal when I traded in a beat-up Civic at a Honda dealership for a CrossTrek they had on the lot & got more than the Civic was worth tbf. Note for future purchases - look for my used Tacoma at a Subaru dealership when the time comes! ๐
TheBirdman (@thebirdman.bsky.social) reply parent
Funny you should mention the warranties ~~ Bought my '17 CT in the depths of '20, no test drives allowed. Got 2.99%/72 mos. and TOOK the upsell warranty because I had only seen the thing online & my Civic just died. Three failed hubs & it paid for itself. ๐ณ
