WHY do I want one so bad?

The suspense is killiing me!! ;)

Not surprised they extended the offer, though.

(My 2 c about the little black rubber thingy in the back: I don't think it's worth the $79 at the dealership. I was going to get it but when I saw how small it is and it only covers half the surface it's supposed to protect, I walked away from it, too. I bet there is some aftermarket part you can find that does the job better, in the meantime careful when you load stuff in the trunk because the paint does scratch somewhat easily.)

Stay tuned, then, Mater, and we shall see what we shall see.

If I do trade, I will do so knowing that it makes no economic sense. It will just be a victory for the heart over the head.

But, you know what, it will feel GOOD to be sending my money to a car company (via a financial institution) instead of adding to the profits of the oil companies.

I would be very surprised if they made me an offer that I could live with, so the odds are way in favor of my keeping my Cobalt right now.

I'm with ya on the bumper protection. If the car had it, that would be fine, but if it doesn't, then not a big deal. Those two Flint Micas at the other dealership must have it, because their stickers are exactly the same as was my son's car's sticker price, $16,514.

And there is NOTHING wrong with that. It's just a small car, not a castle in England or something ;)

So you've stepped into the dealership now... will you come out with or without Yaris car keys? ahhh the suspense ...

I WILL stay tuned. This is far more interesting than primetime TV

Don't mind me, I'm just having a bit of fun.
Did you test drive yet, or just crunch numbers?

No need to test drive, my friend. I drove Wes's car to the body shop to get that mailbox paint removed, so that was my test drive. (Was it in this thread that I told everyone about the mailbox incident?) The shop was only a couple miles from my workplace, so I just drove his car to work that day and left it at the shop. They gave me an old car to get me to work and back to their shop when the Yaris was ready.

I beg to differ. I know how you feel about the Yaris, but I wouldn't shake hands or sign anything until after you've done the test drive, if I were you.

The white car looks nice, too, by the way, but we're not talking about the white car, anymore, are we?!
