Thanks all. Got a 2024 Toyota RAV4 hybrid coming for her. Went to 3 dealers and one offered a much better deal.
I was in a Lyft the other day across Long Island on a NY layover. A 2020 RAV4 hybrid with 237,000 miles! Driver was a nice young guy, very into cars. He owned it since new. I asked how it's been and he said oil changes and tires is all it's needed and it gets 40mpg. Pretty good testimony.
There will be a very clean 1992 Volvo 240 wagon, 120k miles, everything works on Bring A Trailer soon.

Sure you don't want to hold on to it?? I regret selling my 1992 BMW 5-series. It's almost becoming cool again, like mom-jeans or wallpaper. And I regret selling my '85 toyota land cruiser 8 years ago too. I keep making these mistakes.

My daughter thought about keeping it, but prices for them are strong now and she could use the $$ starting her new career.

Can get a 2021 Plaid with 10k miles right now for 68-70k. Probably 50-55k next year at this time.

Right… it was attractive until the mirrors. Do you mean it saw itself in a mirror?

Lucky for you there are many other ummm…. polarizing vehicles for you to acquire which might have better mirrors.

The FIAT Multipla, Pontiac Aztec, Citroen 2CV come to mind. I’m sure there are other cars that frequently top the list of most um …. bold designs?

I think the fact that they abandoned everything unique about the cybertruck and just clad a traditionally-built vehicle in heavy stupid stainless is the real issue.
