In the 70s, Toyota was pretty bad, but they are about the best that you can buy now. Chevy trucks are a lot better than the cars even though the cars have improved a lot.

My ex had well over 200,000 on her Camry, passed it on to our daughter who drove it a few years and then when Nana needed a car, she got it and she's still driving it. Hardly spent a dime on it other than routine maintenance.

I don't actually have anything against Toyota. Like you said, there are crooked dealerships with every brand. I've just been satisfied with the Chevrolets I've been driving, and have a dealership I trust (mostly because I know a lot of the mechanics in there). When I buy cars now, I buy the service department.

BTW, as to the thread topic, whether the dealer thought he was ripped off or not, taking the car out of someones driveway when you don't have a lien on it is pretty dangerous. It sounds like it's already cost him a bundle with the negative publicity, and he should have pursued legal options. He's a big target, and criminal charges of auto theft sound likely. Civil suits, keep it on the front page, more lost business. I sure wouldn't want to be the rookie salesman that made that sale.
