Looks like a RAV4. Very nice. My daughter has one and loves it. They're practically bullet-proof. You'll get tired of it before it dies on you.
Yeah, it's a RAV4. It's the third one we've had now, and will be primarily DW's car. We almost didn't buy another one, simply because the salesman stupidly said, "it's a popular choice among older people" in front of my wife.
I don't know why he thought that would be a selling point.
OMG......I would have clocked the little whippersnapper!
What a beautiful car, and I love the color.

We actually left a dealership because the salesman kept talking to my husband about the vehicle, even though we had made clear that it was for me. We also told him we wanted a hybrid and he kept talking about other models. They work on commission. He wasn't getting ours.
I had a similar experience years ago with my ex. We were shopping for her car. The salesman kept asking me questions. Each time I pointedly looked at my wife and she answered. He just didn't get it.
I hate buying a car. I go in with financing already in place, test drive the car and tell them the price I want. I give them 20 minutes to give me an answer or I'm gone. Then they have one hour to get the paperwork ready and me out the door. I'm nice but firm, they will not waste my time keeping me there all day trying to wear me down.
No such thing with Toyota, and one of the reasons we keep going back. I get a firm price over the phone or email, and there's no dickering or bickering. All we do is go in and fill out the paperwork, and off we go. We were at the dealership yesterday for a total of 45 minutes.
The salesman wasn't as bad as I let on. I cut him some slack because he was just a kid, and otherwise a very nice guy.

A number of years back, we had a dealership that would offer to park your car for you. If you were unhappy and wanted to leave, they all of a sudden couldn't find the person who had your keys and was supposed to be parking your car. And when you looked for your car it was nowhere to be found on the lot. One customer got smart and called the police that he was being held against his will and that h is car had been stolen. The dealership ended up being closed down by the state.
