I have a 13 year old rav4, I’ve owned it for the past 8 years, have put 100k miles on it in that time, have had kids and dogs in it all the time. I’ve vacuumed it occasionally, and wiped down the dash with armor all or whatever.

This past week I had it detailed. I was floored. Obviously the scratches from my grill propane tank on the glove box didn’t come out…but years of stains on the seats did. The little area around the shifter, inside all of the little storage spots…everything.

Less than $200 and it honestly feels like sitting in a new car.

Sounds like a setting that's easily fixable on your end.

I had a similar experience in my 20s, then one day the thought of "the people telling you these things care about you and wouldn't make this up to hurt you" popped into my mind and it was a huge turning point.

"Consider the source" has a negative connotation usually, but really works both ways.

He put strawberry jam on one of the girl’s seat. When she sat in it and later stood up, he pointed at her with this ridiculously juvenile giggle and shouted out to the entire building, staff AND customers, that “Oh look, Jennifer just got her period!!”

It was dreadful! She burst into tears and every other employee (all women) were livid. Fired him on the spot.

Who just... FEELS like buying a new car because their own car basically looks dirty???

"Oh Edward, darling, I've noticed the Aston Martin has quite a dreadful smudge on it from when you last drove it through the rain. Please be a dear and go buy a new car, won't you?"
