off to dinner now

but before i go, i've just gotta record what i've discovered, or at least some of what i discovered... consumer reports confirms that the prius is the car i want among the cars i can afford... i think... and they (consumer reports) no longer recommend the camry... i did not read enough to find out why, but the camry still has some of the highest ratings, so it's not easily evident why their recommendation changed... so i searched and searched and searched and learned about new cars and realized that most new cars still lose five to eight thousands dollars in their first year... even the prius... and there is the rub...

i found a used prius IV, at least i think it is a IV, which is the one i would want... it's a 2013, with thirteen thousand miles on it for nineteen thousand dollars... since new it would go for twenty-eight thousand or more, that is a great deal... carfax says it has no accidents reported... it's being sold by offleaseonly, so the question is why someone would turn in a car after eleven months on a lease... a business?... a rental?... private lease?... some other sort of fast turn around?... hidden wreck?... the bad news is the car is four hours away in lake worth, west palm... no time to check it out, so do i buy it blind to save a few thousand of more?...

decisions... i must make time to sit in a drive a prius and a corolla cuz i think i have decided to buy one of those two cars... maybe... but tonight, i have dinner plans and i will upset helen if i cancel at the last minute... jackson did, but jackson's in love, or at least in need and people in love, well, you know... remember toronto?... so i didn't fix the car... didn't feel like sitting at a mechanic's all day... so i shopped online... and stay with the rental... decisions...

off to dinner now... hi ho... narf too :}
