Trading in my dream car for a Toyota hybrid for longevity, lower maintenance costs, and lower insurance costs.
Putting together the final paperwork when the warranty packages are introduced.
I decline all but the manager insists on one of them alone specifically covering electronics (and everything else for 10 years). He says that the newer Toyota’s electronics are expensive to replace and commonly malfunction or break. I figured this is just pushing warranty, but he got to me mentally and broke my confidence in the brand.
Was this guy just trying to get me to spend more money, or is there truth in his tale?
If you truly want car that will last longest stay away from hybrid turbo or cvt. I say if you can get v6 Toyota Lexus non cvt. I like rav 4 fwd non cvt. I get 33.4 mpg city highway combined on my rav 4 with iddle time I don’t see need to pay extra 5k plus for hybrid system that requires more maintenance just so it can go bad after 10 years you not saving no money . I keep my cars 300k plus that’s my 2 cents. Corolla are bullet proof build in Japan even tho cvt.
