Default My primary car is a 1999 Corolla VE

With only 82K miles on it.
Tow vehicle for the boat is a Chevy truck that does quite nicely.

I'm looking to upgrade and my son in law's 2007 Infiniti G35S is coming off lease in May.
Residual is $20,406.00.

Car has 28,000 miles, always garaged, no accidents.

Good deal or bad?

Used to like Nissan (Infinity, whatever) and have owned a few, not so much a fan anymore. For $20K, there's a lot of choices out there if you're just dying to switch out of that reliable Corolla.

I think it's a pretty good deal because of the low mileage and garaged.

LOL, a '99 Corolla would be stepping up for me. My daily driver is a '94 Corolla. It's still in great shape and runs great too.

Granted, I have an '05 Nissan Titan.

But my daily driver saves 10k miles per year off my truck.

My 99 Corolla is about to flip 200k and has yet to see a repair. It's not flashy but it's tough to argue with about reliability.

Thanks.
Believe me, that Corolla is incredibly reliable, I'm just too tall for it. I would never sell it if I fit in it. Hence the desire to upsize. Gonna do a little shopping this weekend unless we get out fishing.

According to A1Outboards, you must be a pickle smoker if you own a Toyota.
