You’ve Won… A NEW CAR!!! … sort of
From my father…
“Beware Toyota. We bought a new Venza from them, drove it 600 miles and the first time it rained the engine sucked water in through the air intake and blew up. Toyota would not stand behind their product and our insurance is paying for a replacement block.
“So instead of a new factory built vehicle we now have one with a shop built replacement motor. I asked to trade it back to them for a new car which is what I contracted for and they’ll give me a generous $18K for a $34K vehicle with 600 miles on it. That won’t even come close to paying the $25K note.
“And to think, I traded a perfectly good Mustang GT with 73K miles on this shit. Shame on me, I’ve heard all the stuff in the media about Toyota’s QC problems and went ahead with this plan. Boy did I get burned.”
Awaiting your thoughts…

Thanks for your comments on our blog. I will chew over, digest, ruminate and possibly at some point thoughtfully regurgitate them.
That seems pretty rubbish of Toyota. What kind of a car can’t cope with rain?

I’ve tagged you for a meme again: it’s about books so I hope you enjoy doing it.
