Dich, 

Nice to meet you and thanks so much for the information about the  2025 Toyota Sienna Woodland Edition XLE AWD minivan that can tow 3500 pounds and can get the good ~35 mpg ... seems like possibly leasing it, and using my 2016 Toyota Prius c 4th generation too around cities .... could be great for World Univ & Sch ethnographic fieldwork, for example, and in the eastern Sierra too. (Further for an invaluable shower, I've heard that a scamp deluxe 13 ft layout 2 with shower eg https://www.fiberglassclassifieds.com/2020-scamp-scamp-13-layout-2-front-shower-and-toilet-california-4084 but haven't seen one yet)


As I just texted friends and family - 

Looks like paying outright might come to the relatively low ~ $62,000 but with leasing, this would involve a $3000 down payment, and 35 months of ~$1,095 payments = $41,325 ... and at the end of 3 years I could return the leased Sienna Woodland to Magnussen's Toyota of Palo Alto ... and possibly get a 2028 Toyota Sienna Woodland edition with its new developments for example - a Toyota Configurator shower in the Sienna (https://www.toyota.com/configurator) would be great, but am skeptical about this  - (and especially for my Harbin Hot Springs' ethnographic field work for 2nd book project) ... While buying a 2025 Toyota Sienna Woodland Edition XLE AWD minivan outright for  ~64000 (dreaming) could lead to my doing a DIY Conversion into a shower (and see Awesome Camper Shower (Part 2). Sienna Couple's Tiny Camper EP9 ... https://youtu.be/lJg2bZOmpMw :)  ... I think new developments even with Toyota Humanoid Robotics' THR3s in Toyota Sienna vans ... and for MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch WUaS Educational Service stores (and in Viet Nam WUaS - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States in the Vietnamese language - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Languages) could be great ... Warm regards, Scott

Further thoughts? 

Thanks so much for the print outs on paper regarding the above.

Maybe see you when I come to pick up my 2016 Toyota Prius c (which I got from Toyota Palo Alto in 2~019) from getting a 5000 mile Maintenance Required service later today ... 

Best wishes, 
Scott
