It&#8217;s the top rated Sedan on CR now with a 93.  The only vehicle above it is the Tesla but we don&#8217;t have $100k for a car.  We also didn&#8217;t want to spend $30,000 on a car but we were willing to spend 2\/3 of that so I started looking at used ones.<\/p>\n<p>Last night I found a 2011 with under 22,000 miles for about $4,000 less than all the other ones of that basic year I had been seeing.  The only problem was it was in Carlsbad which is near San Diego and about 110 miles from home.<\/p>\n<p>We decided it was worth it to drive down there so today Betty, Jenny, Patrick and I went down and we went ahead and bought it.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s some pics.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/donlafferty.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/IMG_2535.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/donlafferty.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/IMG_2535-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"2011 Camry Hybrid\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-881\" srcset=\"https:\/\/donlafferty.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/IMG_2535-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/donlafferty.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/IMG_2535-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/donlafferty.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/IMG_2535-703x527.jpg 703w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/donlafferty.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Cam3.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/donlafferty.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Cam3-300x296.png\" alt=\"2011 Camry Hybrid\" width=\"300\" height=\"296\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-882\" srcset=\"https:\/\/donlafferty.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Cam3-300x296.png 300w, https:\/\/donlafferty.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Cam3.png 326w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/donlafferty.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Cam1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/donlafferty.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Cam1-300x211.png\" alt=\"Cam1\" width=\"300\" height=\"211\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-883\" srcset=\"https:\/\/donlafferty.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Cam1-300x211.png 300w, https:\/\/donlafferty.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Cam1-1024x723.png 1024w, https:\/\/donlafferty.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Cam1-703x496.png 703w, https:\/\/donlafferty.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Cam1.png 1298w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/donlafferty.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Cam2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/donlafferty.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Cam2-300x177.png\" alt=\"Cam2\" width=\"300\" height=\"177\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-884\" srcset=\"https:\/\/donlafferty.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Cam2-300x177.png 300w, https:\/\/donlafferty.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Cam2-1024x607.png 1024w, https:\/\/donlafferty.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Cam2-703x417.png 703w, https:\/\/donlafferty.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Cam2.png 1318w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;ve had the Hyundai Sonata since 2004 and Betty figured it was time to replace it.
