I'm glad I didn't disappoint! **flaunts the icon again**
If I were anybody else, you might be facing a horrible Jewish joke, but I'm a wee bit too politically correct - shocking, isn't it? - to say anything about that. Moving on, you did really well. Used or not, a Toyota is going to last you forever; until my mom's 1989 Corolla was totaled, it lasted her for almost fourteen years and it would have lasted her probably five or six more, at the minimum. The way most people are about their cars, they don't realize that yes, that hunk of gas-powered metal and plastic is an investment, and it would be wise to take good care of it and to invest wisely to start with, which you already did, obviously, in buying a Toyota.
I did buy my car from my uncle, and he was the only one who'd be willing to sell me an automatic transmission car with air conditioning for $1,000. The woman who was going to buy it before me was prepared to give him about five hundred dollars more. Of course, now that it's in teenage hands, its value has probably dipped to an inconvenient $500. -_-6
**makes a happy seahorse noise - no, I don't know what that is, either - and squeezes you back**
