    I’m about to save you thousands of dollars.

    The exact model and color that you want is in stock at Langway Toyota of Newport (Rhode Island) and you can get it for somewhere in the $24,XXX price range. Their Yellow Tag price is already set at a very low price so there is no haggling involved. You should contact Jim Sidman and let him know that Bryan referred you. I would post his email address here, but don’t want bots to pick it up, so if you’re really interested, just drop me a PM and I can send you his email address. Otherwise, just call and ask for him on the phone. Langway is an outstanding dealership that does not pull tricks nor do they have any hidden fees. I’ve bought a lot of cars across the country and have never found a dealership better than them.

    Then you have two options for getting the car to you:

    Option 1) Pre-arrange everything (final price, deposit to hold the car, financing if you need it, and the day/time you’ll arrive). Then buy a one-way airline ticket to Providence (PVD). The public bus system can take you to Langway for $3 with one bus transfer and about an hour and 45 mins of time. (I can send you the exact directions on how to do this to make it easy.) Or you can take Uber or Lyft for approximately $46 and 40 minutes of time. It will take you about 2 hours to close out the paperwork and then you can get some awesome seafood for a great price at Anthony’s before starting your drive home. If you don’t like seafood, then you can’t go wrong with Bossman Burgers right up the street from the dealership. It’s about a 2-day drive home to Wisconsin from here. So for 2-3 days of your time and after accounting for the travel expenses, you’ll save about $7,000.

    Option 2) Perform all of the steps above but instead of flying out here, you could handle everything remotely and then have the car shipped to you. I haven’t checked prices lately, but two years ago I shipped a 2010 Prius from California to Rhode Island for $1,180, so I can’t imagine the cost being more than $800-$900’ish to ship it to WI. Of course, if you go this route, you’ll miss out on Anthony’s Seafood.

    No way I’d buy locally if I were you. Buy out here and use the extra $7,000 or so for a couple of really nice vacations. If I can answer any questions for you, let me know. Always happy to help.
