Dethra U. Giles’ current Avalon is closing in on a half million miles.
She’s going to hang on to the Avalon until it passes the 500,000-mile mark then get something else, probably another Toyota. Giles founded and runs an HR consulting firm. So shouldn’t a successful professional like her be in a Lexus?
“I thought about it, and, just coming from the insurance price point of view, I’m like, what’s the major difference here? I’ll pay a major price difference and not get a major upgrade from the car. So I was like, ‘Hey, let’s stick with Toyota as long as we can.’ But that was the biggest thing. You know, I can do what I want. And I just love my Toyota.”“One of my friends, a broker, he’s like, ‘It’s time for you to upgrade, you’re running in different circles now.
“Spend the money to take care of your car. So many people do what I call ‘stepping over dollars to get two dimes.’ ‘I don’t need that maintenance right now.’ And they let it go further than the recommended mileage to take care of it. And you can’t figure out why you can’t get 150,000 miles out of a car? It is because you won’t pay for the maintenance. I say sacrifice a little bit now and pay for the maintenance over the long haul, it will be amazingly, financially rewarding.
Next up for Giles? It would have been another Avalon, but Toyota has discontinued that model. So she’s looking at a Camry. I hear they’re reliable. Mark Vaughn grew up in a Ford family and spent many hours holding a trouble light over a straight-six miraculously fed by a single-barrel carburetor while his father cursed Ford, all its products and everyone who ever worked there.
