Ah, I see said the blind man...makes sense

This is true. My trade in had inspection stickers that expire at the end of March. I told the dealer I wasn't going to pay to get the tradein inspected, along with anything it might need like brakes, etc, and then just turn around in a week or so and give the car to them.

So my dealer is putting me in a CPO Lexus on 3/29 to drive for free until my car comes in on April 21st. Thats over three weeks of loaner time. And with my hour long commute to work, I'll probably put a good amount of miles on that loaner.

I think I was a special circumstance because I ordered my awd Jan 2nd and it isn't in yet so to combat all my complaining they're hooking me up with a nice used one off the lot.

I'll take it!
