I had just planned on posting one picture and moving on, but I still had the ad open, so here are the photographs from the advertisement:






The paint is scratched, there is a small dent in the rear bumper, the headlights are foggy, the interior is dirty, and there was only a quarter-tank of gas.

Do you guys know anyone with recent experience cleaning Camries, polishing Camry headlights, and popping a dent out of the back bumper of a Camry?

The seller turned out to be a dealer and the ad was in Spanish:
Quote:
Toyota Camry 4 cilindros
titulo normal
100k miles originales
2 aņos de placas
AC helado
Corre como nuevo
No luz prendida
$4,200 obo


I didn't think that he communicated great and my phone didn't want to work, but hey, 104,000 miles for $4,200.

Kelley says it it is worth $5,200 in good condition and $4,600 in fair.

Last night the VA sent a text asking if I wanted to move my appointment over a month away to today at 1300.

I thought it was Zoom with a doctor here, but apparently the doctor is in Show Low, and everyone in the Phoenix VA is useless.

Data finally started working, so I looked up the Show Low phone number, called the VA, told it to let me leave a message for my provider, and it wouldn't let me leave a message for my provider.

So, I was AWOL while at the main hospital.

I had wanted to find a mechanic nearby, drop off my car to be inspected, grab a bite to eat, and walk to the hospital, but my data wasn't working, and I ran out of time.

I had just found the cantina when my sister messaged me that she had food at her home, so I drove around until I found gas, filled up, cleaned my windshield, and discovered that the insides are dirty!

I tried wiping it with a wet paper towel, but the streak didn't seem to go away, although now that bit looks cleaner than the rest.

The cruise control seems to resume, the shocks aren't worn out, and there don't seem to be the leaks that Ralph had when I bought it.

There aren't five chips in the windshield--or that crack that Ralph developed about a week ago.

The second vent is cracked, though. The plastic with the control is split and I doubt that one can simply super glue that back together.

#4 is broken in my Accord.

Thanks, Alaskans!

Oddly, this lacks a little bit of storage that Gramps and Mom's car have, with a third cupholder up front.

I have an appointment at Toyota to have the car inspected at 8 and then I will drive home.
