It seems we’re spending an awful lot of time at car dealerships these days; the reason, of course, is the hunt for David’s automobile. Used (sorry: pre-owned) smaller cars with relatively low mileage are so expensive that one is almost forced to buy new. Example: a 2008 Toyota Corolla LE with 23,000 miles on the counter sells for just a little over one thousand dollars less than a new 2009 identically equipped model. What kind of sense does that make? With all this, leasing a new car becomes a very tempting proposition. At 3:20 this afternoon I snapped this photo at Crown Honda Southpoint while David and Amelia were test driving a Honda Civic LX. A little later, they also drove the Corolla LE. So far, it looks like Honda is winning. What a cliffhanger...
