Bob's not the only one who took advantage of model year end pricing. I traded my broken boat for a C4 Corvette (93). I thought the car might sell better than the broken boat. Everyone wanted to trade me stuff for the boat. Guess what? Everyone wanted to trade for the Vette.also. Both are seen as toys, not primary vehicles, so folks want to trade all kinds of stuff, none that I needed or wanted.
So, I went on the offense, I started calling on car ads that I would want to trade the vette for and pay the difference. As expected most said no. The ones that did say yes turned out not to be vehicles I would accept. Something was lacking or they were not as good as advertised. I had had the vette since July and knew I did not want to keep it one day longer than I had to, so I checked with my favorite Toyota dealer. They had a nice 2014 4Runner, loaded with the sport TRD add on's which meand it would also fill in for the Jeep Wrangler that I sold this past summer and it had a tow package that could tow my new boat. So I bit the bullet and traded the vette on it. I rarely trade in but the deal on this one was perfect for me, and I was so glad to get the vette outof my driveway. I did have the vette detailed and it sure shined.
(4Runner pics won't load....will add them a bit later.)
