will keep you posted; they're still waiting for the check from the insurance company for the camry, so it'll be a little while (and the car in question might be gone by then, in which case we'll have to start the search anew). |
Hey, Janos. If they drive during NYC winters then I'd encourage the 4Matic variant, extra safety margin on icy/snowy roads, even more so with good winter tires. They're older so they won't care about the extra tire gap.
On the other hand if they're retired and can just stay home until the roads clear, that's not an issue. Give them our best, we're just glad all they lost was a car and they're okay.
Take care and enjoy the ride,
Greg
