Every Toyota we ever owed was rock solid and required very little aside from tires, brakes, and routine maintenance.
Our 1992 Toyota Truck was still going strong after 30 years. We sold it for $3K this year.
We bought a used 2005 Toyota Highlander. Even at 5,000 miles since the last oil change the oil on the dipstick looks brand new. Every other car I have (and some fairly new) the oil is black.
Although reading up on it, black oil is not necessarily bad in a car, I guess different engines do different things to the oil color. But it still looks impressive on the Toyota.
So far no issues with it either. Although I did notice some decaying rubber boots (lower control arm vertical bushings or something). Looked up the faults it will cause (thumps at stops and vibrations at speed). It still rides fine with no symptoms, but that will be up for repair.
We’ve owned exactly one Toyota vehicle, a Sienna mini van. The engine was notorious for filling with sludge and blowing out huge clouds of blue smoke. We bought it new and never had any transmission work done. When we sold it, the buyers came back to us a few months later saying the dealer told them that the transmission ID tag did not match the rest of the car. They accused us of having swapped out the transmission for a much older one! The issue faded away and they stopped pestering us. Fortunately, they didn’t sue. That was REALLY weird.
First and last Toyota we ever owned.
