Camry says to Jaime "buy me!"



So my friend Jaime, who also works for XYZ Company, is the biggest cheapskate that I have ever met. If she weren't Asian you would think she was Scottish or Jewish the way she holds on to money.

So Jaimie drives an almost 17 year old car. It is in excellent shape but it is getting on in age and she keeps putting money into it.

I told her that right now Toyota is offering 0% APR for 36 months. I thought that would appeal to her cheap ass sensibilities. She states that she would rather have a home instead of a new car. And I do agree and she is smart for doing so. If I had not bought a car when I did I would have a lot more saved up right now. But seriously, she needs a new car and the loan would help her get a house anyway and when is Toyota ever going to offer this 0% again? She is so stubborn.

I must say that the color of that car is pretty ugly. I think your friend should buy a house and not a car.

Yes, the green isn't the nicest, but that was the best picture I could find at the time.
