I have a 10 yr old sienna, looking to sell it and get a newer one. Does anyone know who in lkwd would give me the best price for it? I'm not interested in putting up signs in Bmg's coffee room or anything like that, I'm looking for a dealer that would give me a good deal
i heard that Lakewood auto sales does that sometimes

Takanah or not?
How important is price?
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Not Takanah. Price is important, but not as important as it being nice..

Lake terrace is best if you're expecting a lot of guests, it's the biggest.

1)Email lkwdmidtown@gmail.com for the minyan bus schedule.

2)There is a kollel bus

3)Dorado Park and ride in Brick express to Port Authority http:// www.njtransit.com/pdf/bus/T0137.pdf

4)Drive to Cheesequake on GSP near 125 and take a bus from there

5)Drive to Secaucus (NJTP Exit 15X) and take train from there (expensive parking so only worthwhile if going with a few others)
