Well now I know why so many military guys get them. That is pretty crazy, but I am not surprised since it is a toyota. One of my first cars was a very old Toyota with like 200k miles on it. I drove that thing for years with no problems. Great company.
That's a good move, I was trying to wait it out, but my whip was reaching the end of her lifespan, I rolled her until the bitter end. MPG was a huge consideration as I searched for a car, I didn't need hyper efficient, but I needed something that could survive a decent commute.I actually work in an environment where a pickup would be ideal but no way in **** would I touch one...Don't get me wrong I'm not talking down on them but I'm more on the mpg kick than anything else right now.... Looking to go hybrid on the next purchase... Have a few in mind I like but wanna wait as long as I can for the car market to hopefully go right side up... LOL!!!..
Have a feeling I might be in my current car for a long while...
Toyotas are **** good, there's a reason why my ultimate dream SUV was a Land Cruiser(before they stopped offering them here in the States). Luxury SUV that could run forever with just basic maintenance.
Indeed Lexus are the same thing under the hood and chassis, I just am not a luxury person.
They use a horrible transmission which is a huge part of their issues. It’s trash!! I have had no issues with the 68RFE but I’m looking for a replacement.
I am a sucker for convenience and luxury, and Lexus does that well. You get the reliability of Toyota with nice stuff. Unfortunately, my girl is easily impressed by flash, hence why she will probably end up with a Land Rover for her next car, I can't talk her out of it. That said, she's paying, so it's her problem.
As long as you ain't footin' that bill, I cain't say nothin.
I'm going to look at one tomorrow. I've never spent much on cars, preferred to stash that cash for real estate, investments and vacations, but i'm getting too old to be sitting long hours in an uncomfortable ride. At least that's my justification.
I get made fun of all the time for not having a big truck. This is what happens when your friends are:
That’s what she said.
Yep. I'll be driving my old BMW until it drops. Unfortunately, the chip shortage is going to last 3-4 years until new chip manufacturers come on board. Current manufacturers are at full capacity and can't meet demand.
Auto manufacturers also sat on their asses the last two decades and refused to upgrade chips, so when they stopped ordering the chips at the beginning of the pandemic, a lot of those chip manufacturers stopped and honestly can't fabricate those outdated chips anymore.
The chip problem is not limited to automobile industry, but the pandemic and oversight has certainly made things worse.
