Buying any car other than something for basic transportation is an emotional decision. That is okay if you have the money but if you are still making payments and the cars warranty is expired look out you will probably get hit with a hefty maintenance bill you were not expecting. That is not experience most people want to have have.

    I had a '74 Lincoln Mark IV and the A/C didn't work. Lots of heat, but no cold air. I charged the system, still no cold air. Had my head under the dash thinking, and I heard a whistle of air. Found a cracked vacuum manifold that was leaking. Me being cheap, I pulled the blend door line off and holy cow!!! This thing was blowing ICE CUBES!!! So that's how I fixed it! End of September, I'd just plug the hose back in........heat!!! Worked for me!!!

    I’ve personally owned Toyota’s my whole life while other family members have owned other brands like GM and Chrysler junk. My cars always outlasted the others in quality and reliability. For example my sister had a new Chevy cobalt and within 2 years it was falling apart with engine light on, bad sensors, window regulator broken etc. I’ve never had a problem with any of my Toyota’s, just do regular maintenance, oil rotation, change filters and that’s it. Needless to say my family is also starting to switch to Toyota vehicles. My sister recently traded in the cobalt for a new Camry.

They refused to work on them. We would record video of the units working and some would say "Oh, this units bad. No power." New ones cost thousands. Then there's the special programming, etc...
