I love Toyota zombies.
They’ll have a $1500 repair and come home from the shop and say “yeah it’s an extremely reliable car, it just has high mileage.” Heck they’ll even say it in their mechanic’s accent.
Get yourself a nice well-maintained inline 6 Jaguar near 100,000 miles for the same price. When you get that $1500 bill you’ll say “ahhh, but it’s a small price to pay...”
I remember a guy that had to replace the transmission in his Mercedes three times and he STILL claimed it was a great car.
Engine starets right up, 40K original miles, leather interior all good, chrome good, needs a paint job to get rid of a little surface rust, all electric motors for windows and moon roof work fine, doors close with that nice solid "clunk"..
looks exzactly like this: 
$500
It's not relative to the current discussion, I just wanted to gloat.
have the brits ever learned to understand electricity?
$1500? Yeah, if you include tires. But I only have 280k on my ‘04 Camry 4.
