It wouldn't work for people like myself. I am the maintaining agent. The only exception I can think of was bringing the Toyota in for the airbag recall in 2020 after many nagging postcards. That wound up costing me money since I saw a leftover 2018 on the lot and knew that was the last year for the Toyota Yaris in the US. They were sick of looking at it and were willing to deal, even overlooking the bodywork by deer on the trade in.
