[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 348873, member: 59"] I love Toyota. I will buy American when they make them as well as those non-American cars made in America. Don't shoot me but I have tried to buy American for years now and have yet to find one built as well or having the same resale value as the foreign. Just now they are starting to listen to the public and give us more options. But I still haven't found anything comparable. We just went to the new car auto show here and I looked at all the American cars hoping to find one that I liked as well, nope. The ones I did like were $40,000-50,000. After looking at all the cars I went back to two of the cars we have in this family, a Honda CR-V and a Nissan Rogue They are still the nicest with the best fuel economy for the money. Back to Toyota. I owned a Highlander for eight years and dearly loved it. It had 100,000 miles and probably would have gone for another 100,000 but it needed a lot of maintenace and decided to trade it in while we could still get a good trade-in value. I got $8,000 on an eight year old vehicle that still looked great both inside and out. I would buy another Toyota today but the Highlander was now too big for me and I didn't want the Rav-4 because of the tire on the back. I like my CR-V, but not as much as my highlander. I still like it much better better than anything else I saw out there. I am confident that Toyota will fix their problems and I guarantee they are not the only car manufacturer with that problem. Already Ford has admitted they have had similar problems. As more cars are run by computers we will see more of these problems int he future I believe. by the way, that runaway vehicle that supposedly the police had to help stop, it was most likely a hoax.
