The modern automobile is safer, cleaner, more efficient, and more technologically advanced than anything that came before it. Yet those improvements have come at a cost. For many owners, mechanics, and independent repair shops, that cost is repairability.

Contrary to this post, there are a number of low cost Toyotas on Facebook marketplace that will last another dozens or more thousands of miles if maintained. I have a tundra that I paid little for, that is in great shape.

Trucks seem to be built to a higher standard. I bought a Chevy Silverado on the cheap and its got over 280,000 miles on it and shows no sign of stopping. Don't ask me about mpg tho....

Sadly toyotas and Hondas are outliers in this area. Owned A 15' Venza until it got t boned this winter. still a bit cheezed about that. GREAT car, BTW. 110% recommend if you find a used one with low miles.
