I’m going through last week’s “journal” tonight, and saw that I hadn’t responded to this:
We lucked out in getting our Highlander Hybrid in 2023. Supply lines were still not good, and some dudes in a Ford Explorer decided to head-on me in our Honda Odyssey. Our first choice would have been a Sienna Hybrid, but the waitlist for that was literally months. They Highlander Hybrid rolled off the truck the day after we talked to the Toyota dealer. We were doing “Butt checks”[1] of our top three cars. We arrived at the Toyota dealer, and the sales rep came running out saying he was about to call us, because three Highlander Hybrids had rolled off the truck that morning. We bought one. It was New Years Eve. We’ve always gotten the best deal at the end of the month. The dealers get desperate off load inventory then.
