Between Scotty n this Guy buying cars are easy now

Used Toyotas are so expensive because reliable cars will always be in high demand. I now have a 23 BMW but I used to have a 16 Corolla that I financed and paid off for 24k. Years later it was on market for 10k and was given above market at 12.5k when I traded it at BMW. I found my old corolla for sale days later being listed at 16.9k. Btw, it only had 53k miles.

Toyotas are tanks. There’s no way around it. Their durability and resilience coupled with their reasonably priced repairs, wins people to become loyal Toyotans. You can’t beat them. Even their gas models have decent gas mileage.

We have owned over 20 cars since 1997, when we were younger and had an interest in status and not always concerned with reliable transportation. Fast forward to 2022 and 2023, we have a Tacoma sport 6 cyl and RAV4 Adventure, both naturally aspirated non turbo. Our dealer in the Midwest did not have add ons, mark ups, so they are high volume auto group. Because we want reliability. Now, that said, expect the detractors, mostly the Ford/GM/Stellantis suckers who are drowning in their underwater sh*t boxes that lost up to $10K since 2021, and they have 15% interest rates, or had their Dodge muscle car repo'd. Even if you were being paid by Toyota, at least the integrity of the product is there.

When I was flipping cars my go to car was 2003-2005 Toyota Corollas.. id buy them for $800-$1500 and sell for about $2500... Now I can't even find them

Someone I know sold his Toyota Tacoma with 300,000 miles for $10,000. I can't believe people will spend that much money on a high-mileage used car, but that shows that Toyotas are very reliable in the long run.

I wouldn’t buy a CVT car or truck unless it’s a Toyota or Honda. 👍

Bought my first two new Toyota's in 1982 , why ? Because as a VNV I was working summers on a AFB while in college and noticed a lot of them on the base . I started asking people why Toyota . Even back then , the answer was reliability and the cost for that reliability . Bought a new 82 Hilux and a Tercel for just a few thousand more than the Big 3 brand vehicles we were considering . Hence , we have owned many since , as have our kids .

Mark your videos are very informative You give solutions to the problems people face on a day to day basis without knowing the reasons and how to solve them. You mentioned about the new Camry display where in the sound wasn’t coming to speakers and you took it to the dealer and he disconnected the battery and reboot the computer. In my Audi I am facing the same issue the screen has the display of the CD running and there’s no sound in the speakers. Will try this to disconnect the battery and reboot it. Thanks in Advance !!!

Toyota 6 speed transmission is like Bruce Willis in Die hard 1. Can take punishment and keep coming. Yippee-Ki-Yay MF. The inner city Rambo.

Why would someone ask what is Toyota paying you?!!! Good advice and honesty goes a long way. Low cost maintenance and mileage are good reasons to buy Toyota. Go into a GM dealer, buy one of their vehicles 💩 and leave out having the salesman calling you a jackass, stupid etc. second when you turn off the lot, the vehicle u just bought, the value plummeted!!! 😮

The one thing you didn't mention, is that Toyota owner's typically take really good care of their vehicle's which adds to the resale value. Our daughter is in her third year of college. She needed a reliable, safe and large vehicle to drive back and forth to school during school breaks. (260 miles one way) She saved her money and paid cash for her 09 Toyota Camry LE with the 2.4L engine with over 238K miles. (It cost her $5K) I normally would stay away from any vehicle with that many miles. But because it was a Toyota Camry with a proven reliability, I wanted to check it out. The previous owner took really good care of it. Everything worked and no rust. I only had to replace these items: 1) Front bumper lower grille ($28) 2) Upstream oxygen sensor (Check engine light on) ($174) 3) Front brake pads/rotors ($254) 4) Left front CV axle boot torn ($165) 5) Engin air filter ($18) 6) Front headlight housing ($105) 7) Spark plugs ($40) We own a 07 Toyota Camry XLE with over 156K miles. It's a really great car and worth the money. Keep up with the routine maintenance and it will run for a long time.

Hi. Beeing in Europe we have different priorities here. You know that. Fuel cost, small roads, hard to find parking in the city etc. Well, I bought T Avensis 3 years ago with 14K km and it was just one year old. Now 62K and still feel like a new. Very simple car 1.8 L petrol, no turbo, no extras and gets me wherever I want. It isn racing horse at all. These days when I wanted muscle car are gone, now I need reliability and I don't want to know (in person) all mechanics in the city. Nothing can broke if it isn't there.I am happy with this rig and believe I keep it for my son and grand son.

I own a 2020 Camry SE and its been great with no issues at all. Currently sitting at 47k miles so barely broke in. Toyota does not pay me either I go by the fact every one I owned has been great.

Very helpful information.

Reliable as hell

Those new turbo engines isn't gonna last have the time the old N/A motors did

My cousin bought 1997 Camry 4 cylinder brand new. Now have over 370,000 miles. Original Engine and Transmission. Still running and pass smog in CA.

Got a 08 Highlander over a year ago for 8k with 167k miles on it and a great service record. That car is sooo good, everything just works! I easily rank it on my top 3 of cars I’ve ever owned. I've never owned a Toyota before but now they’ve earned my loyalty.

Nice mark have a spectacular weekend good friend of the North 🇨🇦 ( yes it did snow ❄️ here) ✌️🥶

I just filled up my corolla with 20 bucks and I live in California..I'm keeping that car for ever

Lexus. The Japanese can’t tolerate crap. Especially the Japanese MADE IN JAPAN

Over with 15 years with a toyota I spent about $1000 total on repairs besides the oil changes, tires and brakes. The only time I had a break down was year 9 with a dead alternator.

Mark, a Phx AZ dealer was charging more for a used 2019 Tacoma with 28K miles than a new one. When I asked why? The salesman said "Markey Value"

When you're mentioning cost of maintenance, I remember taking my Lexus GS300 with the 2JZ. I always took it to Toyota for oil changes and timing belt/water pump changes. Didn't have to do much else. Toyota didn't charge me an arm and a leg either.

Because reliability is king

I. ❤ MY. 4RUNNER !!! I HAD A NEW 2020 CHEVY TRAILBOSS 4X4. IT TURNED OUT TO BE A LEMON 🍋 SOFTWARE ISSUES CONSTANTLY BREAKING DOWN. AND GM FOR MONTHS DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. THEY EVENTUALLY FIXED IT. BUT I HAD ALREADY LONG WON MY LEMON 🍋 SUIT. THEY BOUGHT IT BK. I HAVE. MY CHALLENGER RACE CAR. AND MY GO ANYWHERE, ANY WEATHER 4RUNNER

You forgot other very important factors.....that's caring..... Toyota cares about its employees..... they get long paid vacation....free continue education....opportunity for promotion..... value the opinions of all employees...... it's all called Kaizen and Ondon.....

Lots of Camry,s for sale but Corolla,s are hard to find.

You are absolutely right about Toyota. I had a Tacoma and traded it for a VW CC so I could afford to drive it. The Toyota is awesome but the 4 Liter drinks gas like Exxon Valdez. Not re-buying a Toyota will probably my down fall.

Toyota: simplicity is it's strength (if only other manufacturers would realise this). 🤔

Because they tend to run practically forever if properly maintained. The thing is, if they were not maintained properly, they can have serious issues. Therefore, you still have to be careful when buying used. Never hurts to have a mechanic inspect before you pay top dollar for a used Toyota.

Great informative video Mark, nice seeing you again

About three years ago I bought a 2011 Camry used. It cost considerably more than other sedans of the same age. However, since I bought it I've only spent money on regular oil changes and air filters. Had a I bought say, a Malibu or Cruz of similar age, I'm sure whatever I saved at the front end when I purchased a used Chevy would have been lost and more on repairs given my history with Chevys. So yeah, Toyotas cost more at the front end but over the long run they cost a lot less to own compared to a car that needs major repairs every six months.

Toyota has transitioned to to turbos in their trucks. That is why I didn’t buy one.

Toyota also perfected the direct injection system that doesn’t carbon up. Uses port and direct injection. Brilliant. There is a benefit to not always jumping on the bandwagon and learning from your competitors failures.

6 years ago We bought a 2012 Toyota Scion Xb … not one single problem. The engine remains smooth a silk

My wife bought a new RAV4 in 2012 for 21k we sold the car in July this year with 79,000 miles we got 17k for that is real good money for 11 year old car

Great list. I lost most of my hair doing Customer Relations at Audi. Those electrical glitches were never-ending. Over all, as much as I love DRIVING an Audi, I would never OWN an Audi. Now, for the Lexus UX. We have UX 200 non-hybrid. Maybe I'm just lucky, but in 50,000 l've had ZERO issues on our 2020. I bailed on the Hybrid UX250, because at that time, Lexus had moderate dedication to Hybrids and Electrics (yes, I know they're Toyota), but at $32k new, the UX 200 still has averaged 33 mpg from day one, which meets my minimum 30mpg and it's less complex. But, what most of us UX owners love is its nimble, quick handling, which I appreciate living in BC and the Mojave where we drive. Planning on 200k+ like our old GS and ES Lexi.

Our 2004 Corolla had 360 000 kms when i traded for my wifes RAV 4. Often it is cheaper to buy a brand new Toyota. We owned a 97 Taurus...that car cost us more in repairs than our 4 Toyotas combined...i am dead serious. Toyota detunes their engines so they last long time. The transmissions are real good because they are made by AISIN. There is a reason why Toyota is the largest auto maker on the planet.

I’ve not looked at Toyota but I’ve looked at Lexus lately and they’re worth considerably more on the used market than their European counterparts in almost every model category. I think it’s because of two things: 1. They’re a known, reliable, and inexpensive-to-own luxury car. 2. Because of #1 above, people don’t tend to want to sell them, so they’re not very common on the used markets, in addition to the desirability factor in #1.

Turbo is great for a lease

You can’t go wrong with Toyota or honda

The long video can be summed up to one word, reliability. With that said, if you’re someone that is going to take care of their vehicle and keep up with the maintenance on it, you’re better off looking at other options. While it does depend on where you live, I’ve seen Acuras on the used market at just a one to two thousand more than a year equivalent Toyota in the southern states. Mainly on the east coast. With direct sellers with TSX’s coming in much closer to the price of a used Camry.

I was looking for a low mileage FJ as an adventure vehicle...couldn't find a single one under 100km and many were 200-300km on the odometer . Those things run forever if you can find one without rust etc. Settled for a Wrangler in the interim.

Just bought a 2024 Camry SE Nightshade Edition....love it!

Thanks for the great revelation, is 2007 Toyota Highlander a good car to buy used?

Subaru and Mazda, Honda and Acura, cheaper on used cars market, if you Ford Panther platform Ford Crown Victoria, Lincoln Continental, Mercury Grand Marquis, 4.6 Windsor V8 engine the Grand dad car and Grand mother car, bullet proof Panther platform Ford cars , the reason law enforcement is Crown Victoria for a long time.

Yea I buy Toyota for Turo cars, even 2011 are still about 13K Canadian but I have no issues with them and they are simple to use and fix.

Thanks for being HONEST, Been #3 with these guys, you cant go wrong with toyota, EXCEPT 2007-2009 CAMRY'S, EVERY OTHER YEAR & MODEL that toyota makes, GREEN LIGHT ASAP

Toyota since 1940’s. Really shined during the death trap American cars. Ralph Nader in the 70’s. Pinto etc

I respect what Toyota does even though I’m one of those enthusiasts who usually finds Toyotas too boring for my personal tastes. That being said I would love a new Tacoma. My job put me in a 2023 Prius company car, and it’s grown on me far more than I thought it would. Granted the recent redesign seems far more appealing. And I say that as someone driving a Focus ST as my personal ride.

Toyota has the worst driving but best reliability because of simplicity. I live in North East, I don't care if my car last 20 years or not. Life is to short so I want comfort. I am glad that I got rid of my 2019 Camry.

Please tell me, how many miles for the first oil change? I just bought a 2024 Camry XSE and have heard everything from 500 to 10,000 miles. Thanks for your feedback.

If I won the lottery I am buying a fleet of Toyotas for myself and my family.

Quality and reliability

Wondering about the Genesis brand, I know they started out under Hyundai but then became a stand alone brand. Never hear much and do you recommend?

Used Toyotas, Not new, because the old Toyotas prove they can stand the test of time. We have a 2006 Toyota sienna 3.3 v6 and its still ticking. Oil changes, spirited spark plug changes for the maintenance. Timing belt, seal. All good 116,879 and good. Not driven to much but never gives a problem. O" and a radiator. That's it. Runs really good for its age. The new toyotas, not sure, but what we have heard quite disturbing. To a point. But other wise we can trust Toyota brand in most of there cars.

On my 3rd Landcruiser over 15 years. Only fault was a loose sunshade!

I bought a 2023 Venza, waited 5 months. I love it except that stupid infotainment screen that looks like it was glued on.

In Australia Toyotas have a good name from the Yaris to the tough Landcruiser and it doesn't matter how old it is, I bought a Camry 5 years ago for 2900 dollars and it had 132000 kilometres on it now its done 220000 kilometres it just keeps going , I met someone who has one that's done 700000 kilometres , it's a 1999 Camry with a 2.2 four cylinder engine with a 4 speed automatic transmission

I know this in 1971

I'm looking at Toyota Tacomas right now. It doesn't matter if it's new or used. Looking at the prices, it will cost money either way. But it will be worth it.

My 2nd & 3rd choices to buy today were the 2000 Toyota Solara V6 & a white 2010 Scion TC (Also a hatchback with a Toyota engine) but they were too far away.

i got 2016 camry with 77000 miles no issues and very clean

I'm looking for IS300h and prices are crazy.

My sister 2018 Camry 160 k miles only issue the positive battery terminal other than that no problem at all my 2014 Corolla 200k unbelievable but not a single thing no issues whatsoever !🎉

one that hasn't been worn out or wrecked is basically unaffordable for working class folk.

It's true even on FB market place you'll be hard pressed to find 15 year old corolla for less than $3K

My 2020 Avalon is giving me rear cross alert malfunction and i am terrified what it would cost to fix it when i take it to dealership. I am not sure if Toyotas are as reliable as they were before...

I wish the Toyota crown prices will drop. I love those cars so much. I think it is better than the Camry and Avalon.

I would say Porsche and Mazda are not far behind Toyota for reliability. Porsche does cost more, but they do have tremendous build quality. Mazda also shares technology with Toyota.

Been in the market for a ct200h for almost a year now. Junk after junk unless I pay almost msrp for 5 year old car. Being in the rust belt sure hurts the used Toyotas because they rust a lot

Agree that they are up there in reliability. but the looks are low on the excitement scale

The GX is 4runner V8

Simple answer: because they are reliable and go forever.

8:43 I totally laughed about Toyota quality. Newer Toyota Quality is absolutely terrible. Especially with interior it will fall apart above 150k miles. And DON’T BUY ANY of new Toyotas and Lexuses with 2.5 four cylinder Ever and Ever And EVER I don’t fucking care what year is or any model. This Engine is terrible

Every vehicle in the world is really expensive, including Toyota's.

Yup, Nice Review ! Gotta Neffew Who Purchased A 2023 Camry, Luvs It ! Toyota Recently Got Hit With A Big 60 Million Dollar Fine For Illegal Lender Packaging Practices. They Said They Were Innocent, But Still Paid The Fine, Go Figure. 😉🤑 😂

My 2014 camary has 160 thousand miles and no issues. 😊😊😊😊😊😊

I just purchased a red 2005 Mazda6 5 door hatch with 109k miles & 1 owner for $5500 today.

Anyone els binn driven in a Camri V6 at least once in they're lives?🎹🎶

In my country Toyotas are expensive as used cars, but it isn´t really true. They are not sold at the prices demanded, if you just go buy one, you can get a huge discount. But they use the high prices to be able to give you a high price for your old Toyota. This can easily be proved, when some private person tries to sell their Toyotas, they always sell their cars much cheaper than the dealership. It´s simply fake.

As far as Toyotas go. I have an 89 4wd pickup with 342k miles on it. It has only left me stranded once. The fuel shutoff relay failed after 30 years. A 100$ part. I can still sell it for probably close to 7000$ today although todays dollar is not worth a shit. My wife has a 23 Kona that now has 9k miles and is already probably worth 2/3 what we paid for it new.

Since Toyota's are well-built and reliable cars, they hold their value longer than any other car brand. As a result, used Toyota's are more expensive then other brands

I 'm one of the toyota loyalty they are reliable car in the world thanks for your video take care bye

Life's too short to drive unreliable cars.

And their luxury division Lexus is even more reliable .. 😂😂😂

My 1997 Toyota Hilux with 434000 kilometres on it is worth aud$5000 to $6000 that's what they sell for it has to be single cab rear wheel drive aluminium tray manual with air conditioning and the 22R engine and mine has all that and tradesmen are still using them because they don't break down

The Japanese motorcycles are a perfect analogy: probably they're not exciting as the European ones and probably they offer less features for the money, but they give you a bullet proof power train and less bills if you do the basic maintenance.

I had a 2018 xse Camry great car…but they ride hard

GX beautiful

Sadly Toyota is putting only a turbo 4 bangers in the tacoma. And a few other models

I'm in need of help and guidance..I've saved $13,000. I'm 59. And it's my last car IL be able to buy.. I'm wanting a Toyota Camry ..can you guide me where to buy and what to buy..outright..no payments !!

Toyota are king of reliability. You only have to listen to the history of toyota to realised how they achieve success and gain reputation for being the best car manufacturers in the world.

Camry only in a hybrid starting in 2024

I love my LEXUS!!

I agee and purchase Toyotas. However, Toyota is now adding turbo to their trucks. This might affect long-term longevity.

Hey, I thought that would be used Rolls Royce's.

You just can’t beat Toyota!
