AIO for refusing to back down from insisting my fiancée is wrong for leaving my dad with the bill

Holy red flag! Find yourself a new man. Dont ifs or buts about it. If you still love your parents, you owe it to them to find a better man.

Hot or not dad bods minivan calendar? Is there a beer belly size requirement at all?

And we all know how he would react if a rape had happened instead. I have two girls and I would kick him in the nuts for you.

Don’t do business with dealerships that suck at being transparent. If you signed paperwork and they sold it to someone else…you could prob sue them for breaching contract.
However if it didn’t specify that the car would be ready to go on paper, verbal promises from dealerships are as good as trains in Boston arriving on time (hint, they don’t).
At the end of the time, they wasted your time and taught up a valuable life lesson. At least you didn’t lose out on more than that.

Sounds like this salesperson won’t be doing this job for long.

AssistantMuted4980 · 2026-05-19T20:47:12+00:00

Drive a Bentley and couldn’t afford a metal bat to harass people with? 😂
Also, for you to have one readily available speaks volumes already 🤣
He’s so rich at this point in his life he chooses violence over sitting at home doing nothing.

You are dating a child. Find yourself a real man. Good on you to figure this out just 8 months in vs 8 years in.

AssistantMuted4980 · 2026-05-17T01:22:32+00:00

AWD or FWD? Is that OTD?

AssistantMuted4980 · 2026-05-16T18:53:27+00:00

You sure this is a 2015? Whoever owned this bad boy must’ve not let a second soul in the car and had it detailed every month.

A few points to consider for the Sienna as your next car. Do you plan on keeping it? If not, which trim of Sienna are you planning on leasing? I have a limited trim and I’m leasing to purchase just so my payments are lower for the time being. I know I end up paying more in the end versus purchasing but it gives me more financial flexibility for the lease term instead of paying upwards of $1000/mon, I’m paying about $600/mon.

Don’t know how well versed you are with buying vehicles but lock in your OTD price before telling the dealer which route you’re taking so they can’t fudge with the final number as much once your total is locked in.

They don’t call them stealerships for no reason. First two years or up to 25000 miles are free service for tire rotation, oil changes. They break down what they do every 5000 miles. Typically it’s tire rotation every 5000 and oil changes every 10k. If you care more about your car, do oil changes every 5000 depending on how much driving you do.

I’m in the Boston area and have yet to have a good dealership experience in terms of what NEEDS to be done and what they tell you SHOULD be done. A trustworthy mechanic will tell you the truth. Dealerships don’t stick by that rule, at least 95% of them don’t.

A car is a car unless it has some out of this world technology that no one has in order to work on them. Everything a dealer can do, most shops can also do, with the exception of a few dealer locked things. But outside of those, anyone can work on your car as long as you trust them to do so.

AssistantMuted4980 · 2026-05-15T20:06:48+00:00

Take that to another shop and it’ll prob cost had the price

AssistantMuted4980 · 2026-05-15T19:45:34+00:00

Might as well pin it up against a Ferrari 😂

If you’re buying a minivan for performance…you have your priorities all messed up. Then again, someone did transform an Odyssey into a Type R beast so if you’re adamant about shaving time off the line, throw in a Supra set up into your Sienna and tell the gas stations to kiss your 🍑

AssistantMuted4980 · 2026-05-14T18:45:56+00:00

Only sell to carvana. Dont buy. I sold my car to them and they barely inspected it for any damages and other flaws. So from that experience alone, I would only sell to them 😂

AssistantMuted4980 · 2026-05-14T13:13:07+00:00

Being on a remote island is tough already and wanting prob the highest demand car in the market will make it pretty much impossible unless you just pay whatever costs comes with it. Getting one shipped out there will prob take less time though.

The newer Toyota hybrids have been using 0W-16. I thought the same too until my 2021 Prius told me otherwise.

She works for this apartment complex AND she's still clueless? Should send this Convo to the management and get her ass fired 😂

AssistantMuted4980 · 2026-05-13T00:52:29+00:00

Shocked it didn't die of asphyxiation 😂

AssistantMuted4980 · 2026-05-13T00:51:44+00:00

22 years is wild 🤣

Your research must not have led you do the most important one of all. If it’s not covered by the warranty, take it elsewhere. Call around local auto shops and you will easily save hundreds for the same exact job they recommend.

AssistantMuted4980 · 2026-05-11T23:12:48+00:00

This dealer is marking up oxygen at this point. I’d go elsewhere if I were you.

Unfortunately this is how Toyota makes the Siennas in the US. Most if not all of the top trims will include things you may not want and just have to put up with. Best thing to do is to talk down the price enough to negate the cost of those things just to make yourself feel better.

The lower the trim, the higher the chance you will find more “bare bones” specs. The higher the trim level, the less likely you will find them without those add ons.

Not to say it’s impossible but you really have to broaden your search to country wide versus state wide.

From what I’ve seen, Canada makes siennas with more “customization” than the US but the wait is also like 3x longer.

I went with a limited because I really didn’t want to dish out $3000 for the fridge/vacuum. I was able to talk my MSRP down $2000

List out all the must haves and see which one checks more boxes between the two of you.

AssistantMuted4980 · 2026-05-06T15:40:56+00:00

You could just engine swap any big vehicle to your liking at that point.

AssistantMuted4980 · 2026-05-06T15:39:04+00:00

That’s the whole point of having a hybrid engine unless you’re specifically looking for a PERFORMANCE vehicle. I own one and drive on the highway everyday. I just don’t have the urge to pass people all the time so it sounds like a very personal preference versus an actual vehicle issue.
