I think it depends on what you pay for it. 100k miles at @ $1600, it may not be a bad investment. Same warranty at close to $3k, you may be better setting up an emergency fund to cover repairs. Like you, I really do not like extended warranties. I do have to admit that I have one on my wife's...

I would be in no rush to buy the warranty. You have until 3/36 warranty expires. It would have been very entertaining to ask the finance guy to show you where in the ESP contract that the labor rates are defined. I have the Ford ESP purchased from Granger, but I have not used it yet. So, I...

Wow, I am so sorry this happened to you. Who are the highest profit salespeople at the dealership? The finance people. Who are the people that scare me the most at the dealership? The finance people. I helped my son and his girlfriend buy a car from a dealer and the finance guy pulled out the...

Serious question: did you ever own a 2nd gen Taco? I never had any issues with driving around Phoenix or pulling mountain grades with either of the G2 Tacoma's I used to own. The 4.0L was fairly well paired with the tranny. Now the G3 Tacoma is a different story. The G3 is awful on the low end...

The figures that I find most interesting are the market days supply and what is going on at the auto auctions. You can find out a lot about that on some of the YouTube channels that you do not seem to like. Also, you would learn about many (not all) Toyota dealers being very successful about...

I think they do care how long you keep your cars. If the vast majority of buyers decide to keep their current rides until the wheels fall off, the automakers would be in big trouble. Their sales figures would plumet. They love leases, since this huge group of buyers buys a new car @ every 3 to 4...

Not sure where the Carolla reference came from, but what the Tacoma does have is a lot of aftermarket support. It certainly compares very well with the current Ranger, and it you want to throw some money at it you can significantly improve it. For the off-roading I do, my Tacoma went everywhere...

What gen Tacoma are you talking about? I owned two 2nd gen Tacoma - 2008 v6 TRD Sport PreRunner and a 2011 v6 TRD Off-Road 4x4. Both had the 4.0L v6 and both were great trucks.
