- In a nutshell I disagree. If I was paying $500 for a car I would say fine. One
- can expect some problems (however, my college Rabbit that I bought for that
- price gave me no problems for about 2 years before it was totalled by a
- friend......now ex). However, if you pay $8,000 for a car, you expect it to
- be in decent shape, and at least to be told about what is wrong. They were
- dishonest and sleazy. I'm doing my best to spread the word:
-
- DONT BUY AT TOYOTA ON WESTERN. THEY'RE CROOKS.
