I missed it. But that explains why my car is taking 2 months to order...I posted this a while ago, but Toyota just closed 5 of its plants here in Japan. I think they got one or 2 plants in America also. Wonder when they close them down?
Hopefully this one lasts longer.
I was somewhat economically impacted on buying new because I primarily earn dollars and was gonna exchange at 110, maybe 112, how the markets were going.
Then, BOOM — $1 to ¥100. It went up to 104.6 but I negotiated 104.8 cause I know forex and foresaw it going up more, but wouldn't give me 1 yen less (105) even though projected to hit 106+ the next day... but, in fear of news I traded at 104.8.
It's now 108.65, so could've gotten 109.
Lost 100,000 yen on panic buying.
