I am looking for a truck that I don't need a ladder in which to get into. I don't want the big price and when I sell it I don't want to throw away thousands of dollars. I may never buy one. I get tired of going through the buying process. L.

The local Toyota dealer told me I couldn't purchase a Camry with heated, leather seats because they were not produced in cars for this region and he could not legally get one from a dealer in regions that did. So, I found a dealer in Idaho who had what I wanted, and it was even delivered to my door (no extra charge) and programmed the garage door opener for me. I still drive that car.

I remember when I bought the Tahoe back in 2001 and I was in my 50's...the mechanic said this is the last car you will ever buy....I asked him if he knew something I didn't know...really? Although he might be right but I did say to him "how old do you think I am?" LOL! My relatives in IL always bought Pontiacs or Buicks too....I wonder why?
