    It's got an AM radio and no air-conditioning, but it does have intermittent wipers...

    Quite possibly the most useless car radio on this continent, as it is not only AM, but only picks up Japanese radio stations!

    A/C could probably be installed without too much effort, and plenty of room to fit a double-DIN head unit under the HVAC vents...

    I was driving to Peruzzi (where my dad bought my truck in 2009) to see what they had on the lot, and I found this small car lot on the same stretch of road that had a few (mostly non-Toyota) gems...

    Another unique 2nd Gen Prius! I'm pretty sure there's a company called Monster Tree Service that uses lime green Priuses as corporate fleet vehicles, and unlike the multicolor wrapped one I saw at a body shop in Quakertown last April, this actually appears to have been painted. This one is a 2007 model, and it didn't seem to have anything outwardly wrong with it, it's definitely gives the appearance of having been ridden hard and put away wet; I'm guessing it has close to 200K miles on it. Also, you will notice that despite having a valid New York registration sticker in the lower left corner of the windshield, it clearly has Vermont license plates...

    1998-2003 Sienna minivans are getting hard to find in decent shape; I saw this one at Peruzzi Toyota, and believe it was traded in since it doesn't have a license plate...

    You may remember that this 1st Gen Highlander was in the Tacoma Stalking thread. This is what happens when you posting photos after midnight while trying to chat with your girlfriend...

    So, this what I'm talking about, and it's just a never-ending vicious cycle. This is a 2005 Lexus ES330, in excellent condition for a vehicle that is nearly two decades old, with less than 82K miles. Two years ago, this was probably a $6,000 car at the most; I'm guessing that it was owned by a senior citizen who bought it new and didn't drive it that often, and they either wanted a newer vehicle with features like a backup camera or they couldn't drive anymore, so they took the easy way out and either traded it or sold it to the dealer outright. The car is in phenomenal condition, and I am normally not a huge fan of white vehicles, but the color combo is very nice. My only complaint about this car is that it is does not have a backup camera, and installing a head unit that will accommodate a backup camera in a Lexus is no easy task, but again this car is in great shape!

    Most people would likely have to finance this car, and there's nothing wrong with that, but this car is now 18 years old and there is no warranty whatsoever. Banks will charge a higher interest rate on vehicles that are older and/or have higher mileage...

    Like I said, this was probably a $5,000-$6,000 car in about March 2021 (when I found a high mileage but mint 2010 Prius at Thompson Toyota for $5,600)...

    My Tacoma actually came from this dealer brand new back in September 2009, and my dad got them down to just under $15K. The dealer was passed down from one generation to the next, and the guys who run it now are con artists. There's another dealer in Glenside, PA that was charging almost thirty grand for a 2-year old Corolla with about 30K miles...
