It's not the car that I'm worried about.

I haven't bought anything except Toyotas since 1977 when I got sick and tired of 'merican cars nickel-and-diming me to death. Repair costs are secondary to the lost time and aggravation involved in getting a different bs piece-of-crap part fixed every month.
"sex appeal" and "cool" just aren't worth the aggravation.

I unsubscribed from LowCel on FB. I can't take it anymore.

I've had about a dozen 'yotas, only one problematic one. 1996 Camry had some weird electrical gremlins, lights would dim intermittently.

I did have a very positive Ford ownership experience with two Explorers and a F150. Chevy, Jeep, LR, not so much. Audi TBD. I predict after the first non warranty A4 repair, Audi will fall into the not so much category.

The one occasion I strayed, I got an Acura Vigor but was disappointed by several un-Honda-like premature problems. Dumped that after 2 years and went right back to Toyota.

Audis are like VWs but the parts are twice as pricey.

My BMW experience was exceptional until my 5yr bumper to bumper warranty ran out. Then I needed something fixed. 6 months later, the car was sold. That is why I will lease my next German car.

I looked at some used Tacomas during my search. It was amazing how well they kept their value and how quickly they sold. Couldn't tell if that was just a Colorado thing.

Making kickass cash deals enables me to make several years of depreciation disappear.
The bank (or similar institution) damn sure WILL be worried about their car and will require you to carry comprehensive insurance 'til they get all their money from you.
