Toyota Dumps Reliable Cars & Sales Plummet

For all these reasons, I am holding on to my old vehicles instead of buying new ones.

People are sick paying mortgage prices for a piece of junk no more they can all rot in the parking lot

BUYING A NEW CAR IS A FUCKING NIGHTMARE IN EVERY WAY! Those dealerships, salespeople, and mark-ups are why I still drive my 22 year old car!

Never ever thought I’d see the day Toyota would start making unreliable junk. Incredible.

Buy a 2002 Toyota - no kill switch - no turbo- no computer- no digital dash- no cvt - no subscription- etc

When government places mandates on vehicles the consumer always winds up getting the shaft

More tech means more problems, need to go back to simplicity....sometimes less is better

For all these reasons i'm holding on to my 1997 Toyota Camry with 265 Thousand miles.

My friend and his wife wanted a new Rav4, they go to Toyota, needed an appointment😂, went back the next week for their appointment, no Rav4's in stock, 2 month wait for a plain gas LE, Toyota wouldn't guarantee their trade in value, wouldn't deal, lowballed their trade, and had add ons totalling $1300. They left and went straight to Mazda, the dealership had 23 new CX5's in stock and 4 at my friend's desired basic trim level and without cylinder deactivation, dealer knocked $1k off MSRP, gave them their asking price on their trade and included snow tires on OE steelies no extra charge, no add-ons. They were in and out in an hour including a good test drive. Picked up their new CX5 a few days later, couldn't be happier with the car or the purchase experience. Toyota has worse problems than just the current engine recalls I would say.

Toyota lost out on money from me, because I was going to buy my wife a new Camry and I was going to start driving her 2015, but when I found out the Camry is Hybrid only now I decided to go buy myself a good used car.
