I was contacted by Lithia Toyota to come in and discuss the possibility of trading in my 2010 Toyota Prius for a new vehicle as used Toyotas are in short supply. I had no intention of trading, since I was perfectly happy with my Prius but was curious to see what it was worth. Dylan Daniel and Mark Harris sat with me and we discussed options. They were very professional, and not pushy at all, and I decided to continue with an application after seeing and driving a 2014 PriusV, which just happened to be a bit bigger than mine Prius, and a lovely blue color. I still was not going to buy, just wanted to see how the numbers added up. After all was calculated, I still was apprehensive because I had been "upside down" on my current vehicle and was sure I would just enter into the same problem with a newer vehicle. However, Mark explained how the discounts and dealer incentives would cancel out my inequity. He also pointed out that I have 41 months left on my payments with my current Prius, and it was already 5 years old, and would be nearly 9 years old when paid off, and not very valuable should I need to trade it in. I knew also that my extended warranty would be up in one year on my current car. Adding all this together, I decided to buy the newer vehicle which would provide many more years of service and great warranties. These guys were very patient with me and again, not pushy. I recommend them both. To add positively to the experience, Ron Morton the finance manager who worked with me was a joy to visit with!
