There is nothing more difficult than giving car-buying advice to someone who has no interest in cars.

Replacing my parents' car
Not long ago, my parents were in the midst of aI'm thinking of buying a new car... what would you suggest...I said, "I'm not interested in cars at all. Incidentally, the car I am driving now is a Toyota Prius that I bought about 10 years ago, and neither of my parents is interested in cars at all.
He told my father, "Do you want to get a Prius again? Are you looking for one of the Toyota cars?I asked.
No, it doesn't have to be a Prius, and I'm not obsessed with Toyota. But I'm getting old.Yeah, it's got the right safety equipment.I think.
And. Well...on the other hand, I told my mother, "What kind of car does your mom want?I asked.
I think about my age and the fact that the next car I drive will be my last, and I don't think I'll be able to drive it for that long.I want to drive a cool car.Hey."
He said, "I'm not going to do that. I said, "If I do that.Volkswagen GolfAnd? Polo is cool too, and it's really easy to drive," my mother said.
No, no, no...At my age, I can't afford my first foreign car.Oh no. The blinkers are backwards and I'm scared."
And. Well, sure enough.... Now to the father, "What about a Mazda, for example? They have a cool design and run well.I said, "If we use clean diesel, gasoline prices will be lower. I said, "If we use clean diesel, gasoline costs less and it's good for us.
Mazda...oh man... I'd rather have a Toyota then a Mazda. And diesel is diesel oil, right? No, it's fine, but I don't like the image...
He replied.

I say, "Well... but compared to the current Prius, it's definitely a solid ride."
No, not really. My dad.Even if you don't have a solid run, yeah.Oh well. I'm not a car enthusiast like you and your wife, and I don't really want to drive.
I said. I see. w
'Well then, the last time your mother-in-law switchedNissan Note e-POWERWhat about the "H? It feels well built, easy to drive, seems stable on the highway, gets good gas mileage, and has safety features."
And now my mother said, "I'm sorry.
The last time we met, my mother-in-law said it was "very nice" and it looks cool. However, I've been going to Toyota for my car inspections and checkups for a long time, and they know what they're doing, so I'm not sure I want to switch to a new Nissan dealer now...
And.
....Hey, why don't you just get a Prius...(-_-)
In the end, he said he would think about things for a while, since he would not be replacing it right away.
I'm not interested in cars.
After having these conversations, I told my husband with a laugh, "My parents are thinking about buying a new car, but we ended up having this conversation."
I know... I'm not sure I'd want to tell someone who doesn't like cars that they can't drive.How's that running?I don't think that saying things like, "I'm not a fan of this," is going to make much of an impression. I think it's more important to have a car that is easy to drive or that gets good gas mileage. I think my father-in-law likes Toyotas, so he will end up getting a Toyota, no matter what. LOL!
He said.
I know... well, it's my parents' car, so I don't really care what kind of car they choose.After all, I am old, and I want him to drive a car that is equipped with safety features and runs properly.It is a thing.
But why does my father like Toyota so much when he has no interest in cars... (laughs)

Toyota should be the leader in quality control at the component level. (Incidentally, Nissan at the moment is not good at all.)
If you are not interested in the car itself and "want to use it as a daily driver," the best thing is that it runs well without trouble, so you are right to choose Toyota as your first choice. If you are concerned about fuel economy and do not plan to go far, Daihatsu, a Toyota affiliate, may be an option.
If you are only a couple and don't need to carry a lot of luggage, I would probably recommend the Daihatsu Copen (laughs).

I see!!! Toyota is still hard to break and well made.
My parents don't go on long trips, and they mainly use it for daily use, but they carry quite a bit of luggage (fertilizer for my father's gardening, etc.), so I thought again that a Prius would be a good choice for them;
Daihatsu Copenhagen is so damn cute!
I was thinking that I would like to ride it once.
We feel the same way.
My parents, who are currently driving a FIT, are talking about replacing it soon and I have advised them to consider a German car for safety reasons, but in the end they are going to settle for a domestic car because of the maintenance costs and other factors.
I wonder what it is.
Of course, there are many good domestic cars as well, and I don't deny that, but I would like you to try a German car for once.
I think there is nothing better than a European car in terms of driving performance and strength.
I wish they would at least give us a test drive or something.
For myself, I'd be fine with a Mercedes A-Class.

I guess it's a common thing in every family (laughs).
>My parents are currently driving a FIT, but they are talking about replacing it soon. I have advised them to consider a German car for safety reasons, but in the end they are going to settle for a domestic car because of the maintenance costs and other factors.
We are exactly like that too (laughs).
German cars are awesome! I tell him, "No, no, no," and he says, "Why don't you try driving one? I told him to try driving one, but he said, "I'm scared and I don't want to get a scratch on it.
Mercedes A-Class and so much better!
I want one too (laughs).
I know it must be hard to blog so frequently, but I look forward to peeking in every day.
I look forward to more (and more pressure) from you.
Oh no, people who are not interested in cars are good customers.
First of all, they don't cheat, they don't know much about it, so they spend a lot of money on inspections and vehicle inspections to relieve their anxiety.
They come to us with an open mind to our recommendations.
We want to have a good relationship with such customers, so we respond to them kindly and politely.
So, if you can avoid falling for unscrupulous salespeople, you can enjoy a worry-free car life.
I think it would be best to buy a Toyota from the same salesman.
Let us handle everything from insurance to maintenance as an all-in-one service.
Now, on the other hand, car enthusiasts "often choose cars over socializing when the car they want appears.
We can't expect the same manufacturer for the whole family to take care of insurance and maintenance all at once.
Some salespeople may end up with just barely minimal social interaction, and
It can be said that car enthusiasts do not need to be cared for because they think for themselves.
When asked what car I would recommend, I reply, "Anything will do.
I'm not trying to push you away, but modern cars are really well made, so no matter what you choose, you'll be happy there.
I can't even give a proper opinion on my own car choice because I'm so incoherent (laughs).

>We look forward to more (and more pressure) from you!
Thank you (laughs). One reader said to me, "It's become a habit, as if I read the morning paper every day," which made me laugh.
We will continue to do so.
Well... it's true that my parents also completely trusted the Toyota store and
It's like they're doing something to me (laughs).
Then, "They lent me the latest Prius as a loaner car!" and so on, and he looked happy. (But I didn't buy it.)
I've always thought that car enthusiast customers are the ones that dealerships are looking for.
Must be a bit of a pain in the ass...
>When asked what car I would recommend, I reply, "Anything will do.
>I'm not trying to push you away, but modern cars are really well made, so no matter what you choose, you'll be happy with it.
But it really is.
Today's cars are well made, and if you are not looking for a good driving experience, everything seems to satisfy you in its own way.
But still, there are too many good cars in the world, too many cars I want (laughs).
I always enjoy reading your articles.
I understand.
As was the case with me, people who are not interested in cars may only appreciate them as mere tools.
Toyota makes excellent tools. Therefore, I think that Toyota's favoritism is inevitable.
You are also doing a neat job of managing your sales customers.
But I think those who like cars perceive them not as tools, but more as a different kind of attraction and value.
I have only recently discovered this attraction, though.
It is difficult if you can't feel the attraction of the tool plus something else, such as a test drive.

>Toyota makes excellent tools. Therefore, I think Toyota's favoritism is inevitable.

Yes, it is. I think I can understand why my parents trust them, since they are hard to break and respond so well.
>But I think those who like cars are not tools, but perceive a different appeal and value in them.
You are so right!
I think that when we feel another attraction and value, and the car is no longer just a means of transportation, we will see many things differently.
I would like to be able to feel the charm of various cars from now on.
Hello.
For older people.
Mazda seems to be perceived as a cheap manufacturer.
Your parents did products of famous manufacturers, not only cars.
Are you told that your products are made by a manufacturer?
Also, given the long-standing habits of operating a domestic car
Imported cars with different "grammar" of controls, not only winker levers, are considered dangerous.
>....hey, why don't you just use a Prius...(-_-)
The Prius also has a weird "grammar" for shifting.
It may have been the cause of the accident.
I know it was featured on TV.
If your parents are used to it, I think it will be fine.
not only ... but also
I believe there is "homeostasis" in lifestyle.
I often joke about it.
He said, "I'm not going to change my wife or my tools."
My wife is scowling at me.
I am curious what your parents' car turned out to be.
