I got such a good deal.
A number of things added up to make this spectacular.
1. Going through the Costco auto program. That easily saved me about $500-$700
2. The dealer close to home only had a white one. I would have preferred black or gray. I found another dealer that had the gray one. When I told the other dealer this he offered to take an additional $600 OFF and do free tinting.
3. Toyota right now is having their 'Right Time' event. So that was an additional $1750 customer cash.
4. And because I just graduated they had a special at that location that gave graduates an additional $1000 customer cash.
Because of these great deals I definitely added features to protect my car. Things I did not do the first time around. Such as:
1. Gap Insurance
2. Platinum warranty that will protect EVERYTHING for 4 years or 65,000 miles.
3. Premium maintenance plan. This means when I come to get my oil changes for the next 3 years I don't have to pay anything. On top of that the major maintenance at 15,000, 30,000, and 45,000 miles are paid for as well.
4. I added an alarm system because I am moving out my car will not be in a garage so this will add that extra protection.
5. The Auto Butler. Every 6 months I take her down there and she will get the exterior detailed. This also protects the outside from fading and such.
I think that's the extras...other than getting a rear spoiler (corollas look the best with the rear spoiler) and getting an ipod interface kit. Yeah, I can now play my ipod through my car now. I am super excited for this. I purchased one of those adaptors that allows you to play the ipod through the radio, those don't work. So I am really excited for this.
It does look different than the one I had. But it is very similar. I am super happy to have audio controls on he steering wheel too...
I am just so thrilled and happy that this all worked out so perfectly. I was constantly expecting it to fall through or to hear some bad news. It was seriously too good to be true!
Oh...and I signed by myself. I did not have to have my Dad co-sign this time. That felt good!
THANK YOU Mom and Dad for going down there with me. It took a lot longer than I thought and I am grateful you guys stayed down there with me. I know you could have been doing much funnier things.
And THANKS to Mom for the name. I am glad she was named before I even got her.
(Sorry this post is so long)

I am so happy for you! All the protection you got on her makes me feel good you and her are protected. She is a beauty and hearing about the added heat a black car is makes me happy that you got a white one. I still say "Road Trip"! You are all grown up now having purchased her ON YOUR OWN! Congrats!
