Toyota of Murfreesboro

For us, selecting a vehicle has never been impulsive. We are cautious, thoughtful and calculated, in our approach to analysis and decision making, when reviewing and comparing brands and models. We understand and respect personal choice. People perceive and prioritize in various ways, so there are many different vehicles and options, available. Of course, we always seek to rationalize and maximize value, for our own personal situation. Following is insight to our experience. High ratings for safety and reliability are a must have. We purchase vehicles, to own (not lease), with intent to keep and use vehicles for five or more years. For that reason, the cost of ownership is very important to us (purchase price, depreciation, resale residual, fuel efficiency, warranty, maintenance and insurance). We also pay attention to vehicle performance as we very much want a vehicle that is fun to drive. Historically, we have not purchased cars that are loaded with amenities and creature comforts. Our use of vehicles has been focused and limited; going from point A to B - safely, reliably, economically and comfortably, but not necessarily, luxuriously. For our requirements, we have owned Honda vehicles (Accord LX & EX) that have satisfied our needs and served us very well, since 1985. Now, my wife and I are recently retired. We are traveling more, and doing so, mostly, by driving. Longer trips, and much more time in the car... so our value proposition has changed, somewhat. Safety, reliability, and cost of ownership are still a must. Also now, fun to drive is a must have. And too, of a higher priority, are requirements for luxury seats, a comfortable ride, a quiet cabin and more amenities. Our needs are different, but our approach to selecting a vehicle has not changed... rationalize and maximize value. In 2013, I purchased an Avalon from Toyota of Murfreesboro, TN. My wife and I have thoroughly enjoyed driving this vehicle. Longer trips are so much more comfortable and less tiring. Fuel efficiency has been very impressive, too. Our satisfaction and confidence is high... so much, that this past week, my wife purchased a 2014 Avalon, for herself, also from Toyota of Murfreesboro, TN. We thank Dwayne, Tosh, Tony and Andy... for making these purchases, a pleasurable buying experience. Patty and Tom - Nolensville, TN.
