teh plot continues-- with egg on maybe 1/2 my face---i went to the toyota dealer and insisted on seeing the manager who listened and looked over my paper.. i said i really wanted to see on his car max report HOW COULD IT SHOW my vin # WITH 5 owners -- odometer and accident, and he typed in my vin # one side the screen said no accident- the other still with my vin had "an accident" with 3 owners--- which still did not verify the 5 owner-- odometer-- accident piece of paper shown by the salesman. so he kind of had me "you can't believe everything on car max.." which i was beginning to believe since the one screene had 2 stories on it.... neiither of which the salesman had given me. he then offered me 12,500 which got my attention because i had just come from another dealer(10,000) and carmax (8500) WHEN THEIR VARIETY OF CARS WERE THE SAME PRICE---- WELL NO... THE 10.000 DEALER HAD AN AMAZING COLLECTION OF THIGNS HE HAD TO ADD ON.. WHICH HE SWORE WERE NORMAL AT EVERY DEALER-- THE CAR MAX DID NOT HAVE CARFAX-- THEY HAD THEIR OWN XXXXX WHICH BASICALLY HAD ONLY TEH INFORMATION THEY COULD HAVE GOT FROM THE REG OF MV... CAR FAX HAS DEALER INFO ALONG WITH REG-- BUT NOT THE LOCAL JIFFY LUBE TYPE.
BY THE TIME I GOT TO THE MANAGER'S OFFICE I HAD SPENT 4 HOURS AT CAR SELLERS DESKS- REALLY KILLING TIME-- BUT DECIDING TEH VARIABLE I NEEDED TO CONSIDER WAS ONLY THE MILEAGE- AND IF IT WAS MAINTAINED AT 4999 AND 9999 MILES IT MIGHT BE( BUT NOT NECESAARILY ) BETTER THAN A CAR WITH 30,000 MILES AND SHOWED NO OIL CHANGE DONE BY TEH DEALER????
BOTTOM LINE---WITH THAT FORD EXIBITION TURN IN... WHAT SEEMED TO BE 2 EQUAL TYPE CARS ALL RAV4'S 2015 2016 -WERE CLOSE TO $10,000 CHEAPER AT THE DEALER WHO STARTED MY ARGUEMENT- CAN I BE BOUGHT FOR $10K???? YOU BET YOUR SWEET BIPPIE I CAN-- THAT IS ALOT OF CHICKEN BRICKS !!
THERE ARE 2 CP'S WHO HAVE DEALINGS WITH CAR MAX-- AND THEY HAVE "THE STORY" I WOULD YET LIKE TO FIGURE OUT--
IN THE MEANTIME- I AM TO GO BACK THIS MORNING FOR TWO CARS "OF UNUSUAL" COLORS BRIGHT BLUE AND BURNT ORANGE-- I WILL NOT WILLINGLY BUY A CAR THE COLOR OF HOT TOP- WHICH I ALSO CAN NEVER FIND IN A PARKING LOT.

I almost hate to post this.... so knock on wood, throw salt🧂, say a prayer cuz here it goes! .....
Last week Eve with the help of the amazing Finn walked in & out of the Coffee House, in & out of the movie theatre & in and out of a restaurant! A restaurant we would not have been able to dine in had she been in her wheelchair as the entrance had only steps (historical building) and the space was so small there would not have been space for her chair. Just 1 more of about a million reasons to be super grateful for all SDP does and the wonderful gift of Finn. ❤️ Not only that but last week she walked 6 min on the treadmill everyday - 3 min then a 1 min break then another 3 min. Today she is adding another 2 min after another 1 min break!
